July Radio Theatre

On “Radio Theatre” throughout July 2022, Radio Mansfield, in association with Arts Mansfield, presents “Uncle William Versus Hitler” by local writer Carol Lowden.

An extraordinary story unfolds in Melbourne in the summer of 1938, when 78 year old William Cooper, the founder of the Australian Aborigines’ League, does something remarkable at the time … and even more remarkable in retrospect … Uncle William from Footscray decides to take on Adolph Hitler!

A fascinating true story about one man who decides to make a stand.

And it features two new "Radio Theatre" voices - Vern Simsen and Lum Southey. We welcome them both to "Radio Theatre".

Tune in - or stream live radio through the Radio Mansfield website - to hear the remarkable “Uncle William Versus Hitler”, broadcast every Sunday afternoon throughout July on “Radio Theatre” - on our Groovin' on a Sunday arvo program, right after the three o’clock news - on Radio Mansfield, 99.7FM
