A comedy so black that you’d have to eat a lot of carrots to know whether George’s adventures are actually visible.
The Radio is a black comedy which centres around decline of the lovable, yet hapless George Poppleton, a middle-aged, henpecked father and husband who stumbles across an old transistor radio in his loft. Much to the fury of his demanding wife and daughter, his obsession with listening to the radio drives him further than he could ever expect, fuelled by the painful memories of the suicide of his only son many years before. The Radio ends with an unimaginable twist, when the family realise that things are not at all how they seemed. This is a story of what it means to be a family, the perception of loving and being loved, and what it means to be sane.
