Our Day Out
Willy Russell
I Read The News Today
by Willy Russell
Synopsis
Written for BBC School Radio by the author of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine , this telling play visits a local radio station when its late night broadcast is interrupted by a gun toting escapee from police custody.
The vandalism for which he was convicted was in reality a one man stand against the lies told by advertisers and DJs to sell products and promote a dream world.
The criminal is ultimately led away for psychiatric tests, but is it he or the dream merchants who are disturbed?
