When and where
Saturday 16 January 2027, The Old Court Theatre at 7.45pm
About
A one-off rehearsed reading performance for CTW of the BBC Radio 4 commissioned audio drama The Truth About Phyllis Twigg, written by Paul Kerensa and produced by B7 Media.
_
In 1924, the world’s first radio drama was broadcast by the BBC. Richard Hughes was credited as the writer; but Phyllis Twigg wrote a children’s radio play performed live on the BBC on Christmas Eve… over one year earlier.
It’s definitely not the first time a woman’s contribution to history has gone awry. The Truth About Phyllis Twigg is a light-hearted drama about giving credit where credit’s due – even if it takes 100 years to get it.
The Truth About Phyllis Twigg is currently available on BBC Sounds
This performance will feature bonus content! We’ll be using the hour-long studio recording script, not the shorter 44-minute script as broadcast. Runtime is expected to be around 70 minutes.
