Derbyshire theatre group's live radio play creates sound effects using everyday objects on stage
A Derbyshire theatre group’s latest production is inspired by an iconic film set in Morocco during the Second World War.
Hope Amateur Dramatic Independent Theatre (HADIT) are back on stage with Casablanca – A Live Radio Play.
The production is set during a radio broadcast in front of an invited studio audience and the actors will be performing in front of mics. The script stays true to the classic film and is enhanced by sound effects created live on stage using everyday objects.
Lightly sprinkled between the dramatic scenes are humorous commercials and songs from the 1930s, including the memorable As Time Goes By.
Casablanca – A Live Radio Play will be performed at Hope Methodist Hall, Edale Road from Wednesday, November 26 to Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 7.30pm. Tickets £10 are available at www.ticketsource.co.uk/haditor ring 01433 620665.
*HADIT staged its first production – Cinderella – 15 years ago. The company now has five pantomimes, 17 plays, one live radio play, one semi-staged reading and seven Wakes’ Week Murder Mysteries under its belts.
