Arcola Theatre Radio play synopsis

Born in the middle of the United States, in the middle of the twentieth century was Charlie Fairbanks.

Americans are on their way to space, headed to the Moon, and Charlie is certain he's going to be one of the first ones there.

Q&A with Adam Gillen from Radio

Harrogate writer Al Smith’s Radio is mid-way through its run at London’s Arcola Theatre and has been bringing us a story about American history, love and spaceships. Benidorm star Adam Gillen stars as Charlie Fairbank who is determined to be one of the first people to the moon, but in his research, his spotlight turns from the moon to a darker side of his country’s history.

Be sure to join the quest to the moon and uncover dark secrets at the Arcola Theatre before this limited run comes to an end.  Radio is an earnest monologue, set at a deliberately relaxed pace by director Josh Roche and performed with an equally enthusiastic and vulnerable balance. Adam’s performance is both heartfelt and gripping and isn’t one to miss!

Luckily, before the show comes to an end, I got to speak to the Radio star Adam Gillen and ask some quick questions! Read below to see what he had to say about award-winning Al Smith’s Radio.
