Thank you to The Mercury Newspaper for this article. With a moment now to reflect, we really want to thank Dark M**o for giving us the opportunity to present new theatre works to such a great festival audience, it is a rare and special opportunity. And thank you to Salamanca Arts Centre, who supported the development of ep 2 & 3 through their HyPe (Hybrid Performance) Program through the Australia Council for the Arts.

IT is a live radio performance as moody and atmospheric as Dark M**o, with a dungeon full of twisted sound effects guaranteed to have hairs standing on end.

"In no other live performance have I ever felt so strongly caught within the fabrics of the performance media and their created worlds. With ‘Radio Gothic’ the audience watches a theatre show of a performance of a sound play in an endless feedback loop of construction and deconstruction. Radio Gothic provides a truly unique theatre and sound performance experience."
Rebecca Gabrielle Cannon reviews Episode 2 & 3!
