The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy became an instant classic on its launch as a radio series. In 2012 Douglas Adams’ creation exploded back into life as a ground-breaking stage production – a radio show like never before, packed with laughter, robots, really wild sound effects and drinks with extremely silly names.
Adapted from Douglas Adams’ novels and directed by Dirk Maggs, Adams’ choice to conclude the saga in its original medium, The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy Radio Show - Live! proved an overwhelming hit, with fans young and old discovering and re-discovering Vogons, Babel Fish and Marvin the Paranoid Android, and exploring the unique and hilarious Whole General Mish Mash According To Douglas Adams.
