Test Driving The New Prius: A Radio Play by Jim Fry and Luke Haines (Red Vinyl)

Official RSD 2025 UK Release. Test Driving The New Prius is a 35-minute radio play (with sound effects) written and performed by Jim Fry (Earl Brutus, Pre New) and Luke Haines (The Auteurs, Baader Meinhof). Just as that other modernist masterpiece Ulysses depicted a day in the life of Leopold Bloom, Test Driving The New Prius follows the life in a daze of Endgame Man. In this tale of derring-do the hero acts out a perilous adventure in the 400 yards between his home, his local pub and the off-licence. With nervous system reduced to a series of involuntary twitches and reality reduced to a background hum of decades of half absorbed mindless daytime TV wittering. Can Endgame Man get home and make it through to Wednesday with only his spirit familiars -- an endless trail of 75cl bottles of Glen's vodka to guide him? With cameos from Jayne MacDonald, Brian Eno, Martin Degville, and the cast of Blankety Blank (1980). Written and executed by Jim Fry and Luke Haines. Originally broadcast as a Radio Play in 2022. Now a limited-edition 12-inch vinyl LP.
