The BBC was recording the performance for a radio show called "Last Man Standing" on Radio 4 on Archive on 4 and is coming out on the 1st July at 8pm.

The show is about Paul Farley - a man who finds himself to be the last man on Earth, with everyone else disappearing without any explanation. In order to keep track of time, he creates an audio journal that explores literature featuring the idea of characters in a similar predicament.
