The Agatha Christie Radio Mysteries

Rats

1 x Radio Play 27’50

In the golden days of radio before television, radio plays were a big feature of Sunday night listening. The Lux Radio Theatre was one of them. The actors wore evening clothes and frequently played several roles within the same show. The Lux shows have been recreated for stage performance by groups of actors who have appeared in many Lux Radio Theatre shows.

Acknowledged as the queen of crime fiction, Agatha Christie had success not only as a novelist but as a playwright. She was approached by the BBC to create some plays specially for radio. Rats is the second of the three of these being performed by the Lux Radio Theatre for Radio Reimagined.

Produced by

Written by Agatha Christie

Directed by Don Mackay

Performed by Rosalind Mackay, Beverley Dunn, Jenny Seedsman, Simon Russell and James Wright
