Brassic FM is the kind of pirate station you might tune into while twiddling the controls of an old radio – a subculture as much as a station existing within the static. It is represented by keyboards strapped to a shopping trolley in this inventive, music-filled production, which takes us back to the makeshift, below-the-radar mobility of such stations.
Co-created by director Stef O’Driscoll and writer Zia Ahmed, the production embodies the fierce sense of community in such subterranean set-ups. As the DJ tells his listeners: “This is our time, our city.”
