‘Space is big. Really big. Vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big. You may think it’s a long way down the street to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space ...’ This month theatre audiences will be able to experience the ultimate sci-fi comedy epic first hand, from the Heart Of Gold to the Restaurant At the End Of The Universe, performed live on stage by Simon Jones, Susan Sheridan, Geoff McGivern, Mark Wing-Davey and other original Hitchhiker’s cast members under the direction of Dirk Maggs, Douglas’s personal choice to complete the saga in its original medium.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy Radio Show... Live! creates anew the most enduring version of Douglas Adams’s masterwork in a radio-style stage show filled with laughter, really wild sound effects and drinks with extremely silly names. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy became an instant classic on its launch as a radio series. Now Douglas Adams’s immortal creation explodes back into life a radio show like you’ve never seen before and we have tickets to give away.

Led by Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, the original cast are re-united for these live performances. They are joined by renowned Stardust, Coraline & Sandman author Neil Gaiman as the Guest Voice Of The Book.
