RADIO VARIETY HOUR Set for The Butterfly Club
by Tyler Peterson - Nov 27, 2015
It is the 1950's. Or perhaps it is the modern day. It's hard to tell. Out of the dimly lit theatre we can just make out three vintage microphones and a table full of unlikely props. The humble cabbage is transformed into the sickening sound of a dead body falling to the floor. A hot water bottle becomes the screech of an escaping car. This is Radio Variety Hour: three radio serial dramas brought to life on stage that must be seen (err… heard…) to be believed.

by Nancy Grossman - Dec 24, 2013
