Sorry, Wrong Number

A Druid and RTÉ Radio Drama On One co-production
Written by Lucille Fletcher

'I’m calling to report a murder.'

Described by Orson Welles as ‘the greatest single radio script ever written’, Sorry, Wrong Number is a whip-smart radio thriller set in 1940s New York.

Tony Award winner Marie Mullen leads the cast playing a woman who overhears a murder plot on the telephone.

The other actors lending their voice talents to this all-star Irish ensemble are Andrew Bennett, Venetia Bowe, Peter Daly, Brian Doherty, Seán McGinley, Rory Nolan and Helen Norton.

Druid takes to the national airwaves for the first time, partnering with RTÉ Radio Drama On One, for this short, sharp and wicked slice of New York noir.

Sorry, Wrong Number is a Druid at Home presentation and was first broadcast on Sunday 29 August 2021 at 8pm on RTÉ Radio 1.

A repeat broadcast of Sorry, Wrong Number will take place on Sunday 26 March 2023 at 8pm on RTÉ Radio 1.
