Redlands Museum is the perfect retro setting for Theatre Redlands' production, Turn on the Talking Wireless.
A selection of radio plays will be presented live, as if the audience were in the broadcast studio as the plays go to air.
The play celebrates Queensland Senior Month and will be staged on Saturday October 2 and 9.
If you are of a certain age, this is a delightful return trip - if you're younger, this is a chance to discover the videos your mind can make.
One standing microphone, actors with scripts in hand, sound effects created live and through computerised Foley recordings, the radio ads we love and laugh at - and even a chorus of Doo-Wah Girls will add a special magic to your listening pleasure.
The show includes two Grace Gibson Productions classics; Dad and Dave's Snake Gully Cup and medical doco- drama A Shrine for Janie Gallagher.
An episode of Blue Hills, from Gwen Meredith's iconic series, will round off the nostalgia. More recent productions are Linda Stevenson's clever comedy The Sounds of Silence and Jan Nary's thriller Battered Haddock.
Museums are full of stories and memories so join us when we bring some back to life some of the classic radio dramas and some of more recent vintage - and top it off with a visit to the museum's impressive collection of radio and vintage sound equipment.
On Saturday October 2 the doors open from 1.30pm and the show starts at 2pm. On Saturday, October 9 there will be a show at 1.30pm and 6pm.
