During the hay days of radio, before television, radio was the main stay of entertainment at home. Traditionally, radio plays were performed in front of a live audience with an orchestra and a foley/soundman providing sound effects and guiding the audience reactions.
MMuDS, for the first time, presents Radio Plays “LIVE” at the Mansfield Performing Art Centre, featuring works by local writers and performed by both well-known and emerging local actors.
Three short Radio Plays, accompanied by The MAD Orchestra, will run over five shows. Each play offers different performers and stories ranging from humour to drama and mystery.
Performers and audience members are encouraged to dress up in evening wear. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed, and the “Fashion Police” will be on the lookout in the foyer before the performances. So, dress to impress!
A night of live radio theatre!
