The Fitzrovia Radio Hour
Friday 4 May
7.45pm
Recreating the unique spirit of 1940’s radio plays and brilliantly evoking a dinner-jacketed age of casual imperialism and stiff upper lips. The Fitzrovia Radio Hour’s brand new show tours fresh from three critically acclaimed London residencies, and two sell-out years at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Performed with cut-glass theatricality blending homage and satire, Fitzrovia mixes the chauvinist attitudes of 1940’s Britain with sharp contemporary humour to produce a heady comic cocktail. Sound effects are created live: a desk fan becomes an aeroplane, and multiple types of cabbage help to stage a fight scene. Rippingly good fun.
“Absolutely spiffing show... a skilled company stepping up their retro mics to unfold ripping yarns. A Joy.”
