The Lux Radio Theatre recreates radio plays as live theatre. This show has three options : The Agatha Christie Radio Mysteries (Full length show), The Agatha Christie Radio Mysteries (One hour show) The Importance of Being Earnest (One hour show)

The same versatile company performs all three. The ongoing popularity of Agatha Christie ensures a success with the show. The daytime Earnest appeals to older audiences and secondary school students.
