Rugby Theatre On Air
Rugby Theatre On Air

RT On-Air is a new creative initiative from Rugby Theatre, conceived and realised during lockdown; and which sought to keep the writing, acting and directing talent alive at Rugby Theatre whilst the membership and extended community were unable to do what they do best in the theatre!

RT On-Air is our offering of cutting-edge radio drama written and developed by our own in-house writers group, acted & directed by our many talented members – both new and old.

Our RT On-Air audio plays showcase the funny, the sad, the challenging and exhilarating aspects of life!

Down The Drain
Watch on YouTube
Synopsis

Parents evening can be an anxious time for most parents and so it is for Mr and Mrs Blumson who attend school to find out how their son Joshua has performed over the last term.
Knowing that your only son is an under-achieving waste of space is one thing but having this confirmed by some geeky nerd of a form master Richard Parsons , is a bit much.
Mr Blumson is a self-made man who is not to be messed with. No one calls the fruit of his loins a waste of space – but whose fruit is it?

Bubbles

Synopsis

All action takes place in Sarah's bathroom where an uninvited neighbour (PC Arnold White) has decided to take a relaxing bath on his day off duty.

"Why?!" asks a startled Sarah, well because Arnold's bath is occupied and besides, Sarah's tap water makes better bubbles.

The farcical action becomes more hilarious as each character arrives and finds themselves joining Arnold in his soapy, bubbly haven for a splishy-splashy sing-a-long.

Synopsis

The play takes place in Jenny’s bedroom and in Hell’s call centre. Satan has decided on a rebranding, and the imps have been recruited to carry out test marketing of this new approach on newly deceased souls. Jenny is their first soul. As the imps fail to impress, Mephistopheles is forced to intervene, before their communications systems are hacked by an angel, causing greater confusion. The play moves from high suspense thriller to farce as it twists and turns. Great fun.
