Tracy-Ann Oberman may be famous for her performance in EastEnders but radio drama aficionados,
“she’s the familiar voice from more than 600 (yes, 600) radio plays, comedies and sketch shows since 1995. Oberman’s next role is similarly surprising as she takes on one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic dames, namely Anne Bancroft’s Mrs Robinson from Mike Nichols’s 1967 film The Graduate. In a radio drama. Written by none other than Oberman herself.”

It’s 1993 and I’m getting ready to perform the lead role- Cliff Bradshaw- at Western University’s Cabaret. As I’m getting ready in makeup one of the actresses says to another, “Do you know who he looks like?”
The other actress shakes her head confused at the question.
The first sighs and says, “It’s going to sound like I’m buttering him up, but yeah… Orson Welles.”
The other actresses eyes widen for a moment, “You know, you’re right.”
I was beaming inside. Newly married, and someone who had spent a love and hate affair with the stage, I was going back out to a full house to sing and dance and sweat my way through the show. But I never forgot the comment, and it’s carried me along. Through the Shadowlands, my first radio drama showcase, and into the Sonic Society, Mr. Welles has always been on my shoulder. The studio computer is called Orson, and I always listen to his work in awe.
There will never be another man like him. Just being compared in the most superficial of ways made a grand difference in my life. He was, in short, a genius.
The British Film Institute agrees. On his 100th, they have put out a great documentary supporting his genius- and a man who we shall never see the like again. As much as I wish it, I was just a shadowy likeness of the man.
Audio producer Bill Heid says that kids are starving for “real heroes” in his article from Michael Foust at Newswire.net. The Audie award winning producer of Under Drake’s Flag says that we need to give children heroes from history that they can emulate instead of celebrities who so often make the tabloids. Do you think audio drama is a vehicle to do so?
