What's On

John Peel's Shed
25 Feb 12 20:00

 

 

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.

Selby Town Hall is an award winning arts centre, located in a prominent position at the end of Selby's main street, Gowthorpe. The intimate venue, with a seating capacity of 150, hosts world class performances from across a range of art forms including theatre, music, dance and comedy.

Built as a Methodist chapel in 1862, the venue ceased operating as a place of worship in August 1956. For several years following it was used as a tyre depot, but the building was eventually left derelict and fell into disrepair in the late 80s. In 1992, Selby Town Council bought and renovated the premises which now houses the Town Council offices as well as the main performance space and a smaller studio room.
