Michael Allen has written two plays for radio.
The first, Death of a Student, was broadcast by the BBC in 1963, and was subsequently broadcast by several other organisations, in six countries on three continents.
More recently, Radio 4 has broadcast an abridged version of Michael’s stage play, What’s to be done with Algernon? This production was the subject of a two-column article in The Spectator, which concluded: ‘Allen and his director, Tracey Neale, created an evocative portrayal of a long-vanished world.’
