Carter Davies – Secret Agent

Multi-award-winning movie The Artist was a stunning throwback to the era of silent films before special effects were even a twinkle in a director’s eye. Now, Moonstone Theatre Company comedy offers you the chance to relive the GOLDEN AGE OF RADIO! In days gone by when radio was king of the living room, special agents like Dick Barton and Paul Temple ruled the airwaves. With the live broadcast of two episodes of a period thriller, Moonstone’s very own secret agent, Carter Davies, will transport you back to a time of tantalising adventure serials, when cliff-hanger endings left audiences gasping, desperate to tune in next time. You’ll marvel at the exploits of the derring-do hero as he grapples with an evil villain and saves a damsel in distress, all accompanied by sound effects produced before your very eyes! Of course, with any live broadcast, there’s always an element of risk – especially when the actors refuse to leave their hostilities outside the studio. So, will it all go to plan?

Moonstone Theatre Company’s on (and off) mic comedy offers a nostalgic glimpse of a world in black-and-white when the BBC’s Home Service and Light Programme were the pinnacle of great home entertainment.
