‘The Archers: Live at 75’ National Tour

The world’s longest running drama will take to the stage this summer, as BBC Radio 4’s The Archers embarks on its first ever national tour.

The show, called The Archers: Live at 75, will feature behind-the-scenes insight and archive material, as well as brand new episodes performed live onstage.

Eight The Archers cast members will perform in the live production, split between two rotating casts of four. Award-winning comedian Angela Barnes will host the show, and specialist Vanessa Nuttall will provide live sound effects.

The tour will begin June 7 in Manchester, reaching New Wimbledon Theatre in London in September and lasting through November for a total of 30 stops. Tickets are available from £35 at fane.co.uk/the-archers
