Boy with the Transistor Radio

Boy with the Transistor Radio
by Willy Russell

Terry is leaving school with few prospects in his native Liverpool. His father finds him a job in a local warehouse, but Terry has other ideas. Living in a dream world promulgated by a radio DJ to whom he listens constantly, Terry is convinced there is something better and he makes an angry escape bid. This compelling, compassionate play was transmitted on Thames Television. Contained in the volume Our Day Out and Other Plays (Oxford Playscripts) with Our Day Out, Terraces, and I Read the News today, each of which is also available in a single play edition.
