Three for the Road – a comedy drama

Jerry and Ralph go on a road trip to scatter their old friend’s ashes where they used to hang out as teenagers but they don’t reckon on their friend’s wife…

“Three for the Road appeals to listeners of radio mystery drama and quirky humour with a twist in the tail”

How did Three for the Road come about?

Jonathan Hirons originally wrote it as a film script but the pandemic got in the way. He showed it to a few people and someone suggested it would make an ideal radio play. Eventually, it became a podcast in 3 episodes. As movement about the country was restricted, he enlisted Rob Edwards, who he has known for many years, to join the cast and they set about recording it remotely. The rest, as they say, is history.

Why listen?

It is a story about loss – the friends you had and the times you had it your youth – but wrapped up in humour, intrigue and some laugh out loud moments.
