A theatre review, published in ThreeWeeks, Edinburgh, August 2006:
Radio - Kandinsky
When I was 6 my dad told me that the gold sheet around the lunar module that sent those to the moon in 1968 was thinner than the plastic film round his packet of B&H. For some reason I remembered that halfway through 'Radio': the idea that something so everday and simple could be trusted to perform that beautiful and dangerous action. 'Radio' does not walk that fine line between lightness and depth as fly ten thousand miles above it: it is a one-man play about radio, love, family, duty, space travel, dreams, youth, the 60's, America. A colossal talent has arrived in Al Smith: this is such an elegantly written, acted and directed piece of theatre that it transcends theatre itself. Remember this play: Radio defies gravity.
