Let your imagination run wild as a group of top Melbourne actors recreate the pre-television days with three plays written by Agatha Christie directly for radio. They double roles, create the live sound effects and present the vintage soap commercials. The scripts have Agatha's hallmark intriguing plots and interesting characters which make her still the world's best selling writer.

The Lux Radio Theatre premiered at Arts Centre Melbourne twelve years ago and since then has toured extensively with its recreations of radio drama. The shows comprise versions of popular plays and films performed by distinguished actors in evening wear. As well as performing multiple roles they present the vintage soap commercials and do the live sound effects.

Unique Selling Point

Audiences become engaged in the creation of the show as they are invited to participate.

Marketing Materials

Posters, flyers and press releases are provided and we have found that radio interviews with cast members - usually by phone - are an effective way of introducing the show's concept and content.

Community Engagement

Q and A sessions and meet and greets after shows prove effective. Also Secondary teachers can use the performances for media studies students to experience a form of media which they are not familiar with.
