Details

A dark musical comedy. Radio Castle, the voice of Jerusalem. All your local news broadcast from the bed of housebound ex-fireman John Edward Castle. His son doesn't want to be part of the family business, and his wife is still in love with the town's ex-policeman but Radio Castle continues to broadcast despite everything life throws at John Edward. When the coveted position of Entertainment Secretary at Jerusalem Social Club comes up only one man stands between John Edward and his dream - a certain ex-policeman. As two old adversaries square up, who will get the girl and who will get the job? Best known for his poetry and, more recently, his novels, Simon Armitage is the author of four plays including Mister Heracles which premiered at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2001.
