In 2002, John Osborne won a competition on John Peel's BBC Radio One show. His prize was a box of records that took eight years to listen to.
A decade after receiving his reward, Osborne presents one of the sell-out smash hits of last year's Edinburgh Festival - an ode to radio, those records and anyone who's ever sought solace in wireless.
Inspired by his own acclaimed book Radio Head (BBC Radio 4’s Book Of The Week) - which tells the story of what happened when John decided to listen to a different radio station every day, all day, for a month - the performance is a heart warming, witty, charming, poignant and beautifully written love letter for radio fans across the generations.
Directed by Submarine writer Joe Dunthorne, and with a Daniel Kitson-esque eye for the significance of everyday trivia, John Osborne's show features records previously owned by Peel and was awarded a host of five star reviews during its Edinburgh run.
