Maxi radio serial Tranquility switches lanes to online
Eric Barry -
BACK in 2019 the radio serial Tranquility aired for three weeks on Wack Radio 90.1 FM. Since April 12, its creator and award-winning theatre veteran Eric Barry opened up the series to a broader audience with an online run.
According to the synopsis, Tranquility is a daily, comedic five-minute radio serial. The story centres on Uncle Tony (Errol Blood Roberts) a retired man who, after being swindled out of his life savings, begins driving the eponymous maxi taxi to make ends meet. It is his first time doing such a job, and the experiences he encounters on the road are the antithesis of his maxi s name.
