PTG presents a live radio-style performance of John Finnemore’s 
Cabin Pressure.
Stripped of sets and costumes, this production relies entirely on razor-sharp dialogue and vocal timing to bring MJN Air to life. Follow the crew of a one-plane charter firm—commanded by the iron-willed Carolyn, navigated by the smug Douglas, flown by the frantic Martin, and hindered by the idiotically optimistic Arthur—as they battle ego, incompetence, and the laws of physics.  

Cabin Pressure 3 episodes

Abu Dhabi - The town of Bristol, a cat and a thermostat combine to present Martin with a career-breaking crisis.
Douz - Carolyn finds she’s taken more on board than she meant to when the Scottish Cricket Team, a Frenchman and the Sahara Desert all run out of petrol...
Edinburgh - A very special passenger makes Douglas grovel, Martin crawl, Carolyn frisk and Arthur cry.

The cast list:
MAIN
Martin - Male, late 20s/early thirties
Douglas - Male, mid 40s/mid 50s (older than Martin)
Carolyn - Female, Mid 60s
Arthur - Male, mid 20s - early 30s (Preferably younger than Martin)

Casting & Rehearsal Notes
Thursday Sessions (2.5 hrs): Focus on dialogue, character relationships, and specific scene "bits."
Sunday Sessions (4 hrs): Focus on the technical "radio" aspects—Foley, ensemble doubling, and full episode runs to build stamina for the double-show day on August 1st.
Douz Ensemble: Since "Douz" has the most guest characters (Cricketers, Panda Pilot, Ground Crew), use the Sunday sessions to coordinate the "wall of sound" needed for the crowded desert scenes.
