Radio Play "Harlequinade" this sunday 7:30pm on alpine radio
Listen in this Sunday evening 16th December at 7.30pm on Alpine Radio for the second play in the series: “Bring Back the Radio Play”.
Written by Australian playwright John Meredith Evans, the play “Harlequinade” is about an Aussie bloke (the narrator, brilliantly played by our own Owen Stickles) who sails to a deserted south sea island to get away from it all. He encounters his nemesis in the form of an American intellectual with all the contradictions of her type (Miss Rickshaw, brilliantly played by Judith Falle). This is a humorous play full of biting sarcasm and hilarious observations, and runs for about 40 minutes. Harlequinade was produced and directed by Mariel Anderson, with sound effects added by Nick Brown.
You’ll think you are on a deserted island with these two characters, plus a few seagulls and kookaburras, and a healthy storm or two to set the scene… listen in and you are sure to enjoy a good old-fashioned hilarious radio play… 7.30pm Sunday on Alpine Radio during Rolf’s Welcome to My Pad show… but Rolf’s moved his pad to a deserted island for a short while!!
And what is a Harlequinade I hear you ask? – well it’s a piece of foolish or ridiculous behaviour, according to my dictionary. This play lives up to that description.
