STAR of The Impressions Show and Dead Ringers, Jon Culshaw will be the special guest Voice of the Book when the touring production of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Radio Show – Live! arrives at Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts, on November 24 at 7pm.
He will be joining touring cast members Simon Jones as Arthur Dent and comedian Mitch Benn, above, as Zaphod Beeblebrox.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy started as a radio series and one of its most unique elements was a Narrator – The Voice of the Book – who punctuated the action by reading out Hitch-hiker’s Guide Entries in a friendly if quizzical way.
Over the five Hitchhiker’s radio series the Voice was played first by the acerbic Peter Jones and then by the avuncular William Franklyn.
Both these much-loved voices are sadly gone, so for this new live radio version of the show, guest ‘Voices’ are joining the original radio cast on stage to re-create Douglas Adams’s unique masterpiece.
Jon Culshaw is a close friend and colleague of Debra Stephenson, star of panto Jack and the Beanstalk.
Not only do they perform alongside each other in The Impressions Show, but they have appeared together on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
Show tickets are £25 from 0844 406 8666.
