Click here to listen to John’s interview with Radio City.
10th November 2012 (mp3)
John talks about Ronnie O’Sullivan’s decision to sit out the remainder of the snooker season and looks ahead to the rest of the campaign.
Best known as an actor, Nicholas Gleaves debut radio play Sunk, stars John, playing himself. Sunk is the story of how a young man, Willets, has struggled to find the right path in life and escape his past. Having spent his life feeling invisible, inconsequential Willets is determined to make a difference with his life and pursue his dream of being a champion snooker player. It is John Virgo who helps him realise his dream.
Sunk will be broadcast in the Radio 4 Afternoon Drama slot on the 19th November at 1415.
5 new shows have been announced for October with the current World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan and ‘The Whirlwind’ Jimmy White.
Joining Ronnie and Jimmy will be John Virgo and our referee Michaela Tabb.
Tickets are on sale now with more dates and venues to be announced shortly.
