Charlie Fairbanks was born in the dead center of the United States at the dead center of the twentieth century.
Americans are going to the Moon and Charlie’s sure he’ll be the first one there. But as he shines his spotlight on the Moon, so too does it illuminate the darker side to his nation’s history.
Radio is a story about memory, love and spaceships.
By multi-award winning writer, Al Smith (Harrogate, Diary of a Madman) and directed by Josh Roche, winner of the JMK Award 2017 (My Name is Rachel Corrie).

Q&A with Adam Gillen from Radio
Harrogate writer Al Smith’s Radio is mid-way through its run at London’s Arcola Theatre and has been bringing us a story about American history, love and spaceships. Benidorm star Adam Gillen stars as Charlie Fairbank who is determined to be one of the first people to the moon, but in his research, his spotlight turns from the moon to a darker side of his country’s history.
Be sure to join the quest to the moon and uncover dark secrets at the Arcola Theatre before this limited run comes to an end. Radio is an earnest monologue, set at a deliberately relaxed pace by director Josh Roche and performed with an equally enthusiastic and vulnerable balance. Adam’s performance is both heartfelt and gripping and isn’t one to miss!
Luckily, before the show comes to an end, I got to speak to the Radio star Adam Gillen and ask some quick questions! Read below to see what he had to say about award-winning Al Smith’s Radio.
