on air! on air! World Premiere for Contemporary Comedy
What kind of a guy thrives on taking his work home with him? Peter Maden, that’s who!
Peter, a mild-mannered Media Advertising Guru by day, has taken his day job and turned it into a fast paced, modern comedy.
Set in the offices of CHAOS FM - a “would be if they could be” top city radio station, we get to see the day-to-day workings of the advertising department and experience the behind the scenes “goings on” (or not – as the case may be).
Over a four month period Peter wrote the script, workshopped a reading, endured numerous rewrites and edits and eventually arrived at the finished product.
In the nurturing hands of his director/wife, Helen and with a dedicated cast of 8 males and 4 females, on air! on air! has sprung into life and will be staged at the Spotlight Theatre (on the Gold Coast) from 20thSeptember to 5thOctober, 2013.
I had the pleasure of seeing a rehearsal and boy, was I impressed.
It’s a very funny script, full of clever dialogue, beautifully cast with a mixture of seasoned performers and fresh young talent.
The aptly named Chaos FM is so real it’s scary. A shambolic office, staffed by a motley assortment of “professional” (?) types, who bounce off each other beautifully and make for an hilarious piece of theatre.
