THEATRE REVIEW: hydeparktheatre’s Radio :30 is a riveting revival of a dark comedy about radio's fading glory.
– two films about the now-antiquated mass medium of radio – are streaming somewhere.
Mical Trejo is, once again, pitch-perfect as Ron. It’s his voiceover chops that reel in the audience, but it’s his post-radio experience as a stage actor that holds our attention.), who is recording an inane half-minute ad at a local radio station. He may be an anonymous voice to his listeners, but he is revered as a true professional and “one-take wonder” by his offstage sound engineer, Mike , and is in high demand by sponsors.
Onstage is just a guy in a chair behind a music stand and a microphone. But Mark Pickell’s set design surrounds Ron in darkness and layers of suspended soundproofing panels that create a claustrophobia-inducing isolation. Adding to the sense of Ron’s seclusion is Gavin Kenter’s lighting, which contains the character within subdued studio illumination when he’s recording the spot and casually chatting it up with Mike.
