Circled in the Radio Times
Arts Centre Washington
Thursday 22nd March 2018
Turn off that TV and catch a new show looks at how
we watch television and how a collection of old Radio Times’ tells the story of
the changing nature of TV.
Circled in the Radio Times, the brand new storytelling show by the
creator of John Peel’s Shed and Sky 1’s After Hours, comes to Arts Centre Washington
on Thursday 22 March.
After debuting his first theatre show John Peel’s Shed at Edinburgh in
2011, John Osborne returns with Circled in the Radio Times. A beautiful story about how
finding a collection of old copies of the Radio Times leads to him piecing
together the life of the previous owner, this show looks at the changing nature
of the way all of us watch television.
