PREVIEW: Radio Active, UK Tour

The beloved radio comedy is back and embarking on a tour of the UK to celebrate its 40th anniversary of the show first being performed live on stage.

Based on the sketch show created during their years in the Oxford Revue, Radio Active was originally written by Angus Deayton and Geoffrey Perkins. The show was then adapted for BBC Radio 4, and ran for 53 award winning episodes across seven series throughout the 1980’s.

The original cast including Angus Deayton, Helen Atkinson Wood, Michael Fenton Stevens and Philip Pope are all back together to performing some of their classic and best-loved radio scripts.
