Nero's Class: Sit down and listen up to your new teacher!

Updated / Tuesday, 4 Oct 2022 15:37

Is everyone here? Are you ready? Nero's Class has started on RTÉjr Radio. It is a truly madcap
audio adventure hitting the airwaves and podcast feeds every Monday at 7pm for the next 6
weeks.

In Mrunglody, folklore is reality, magic is in the air, and the school…is a treehouse because their
old one was blocking a Fairy Path...obviously!

A soggy Professor Nero awakens on a mysterious beach, with no memory of how he ended up
there. Has he been shipwrecked? Thrown overboard by pirates? Kidnapped by cannibals? Or is
the truth far more sinister than any of that?

Featuring original music, special guests and an altogether brand new take on Irish folklore and
it is great fun for kids and bigger kids from 6-12 years old.

From the mind of writer/musician Bobby Aherne (No Monster Club & D'You Remember Yer
Man?) comes 'Nero's Class’ - a surreal six-part radio odyssey.

Hugh Cooney stars as Professor Nero - a luckless, fuddy-duddy mainlander who somehow
nds himself responsible for the education of three unique children on a tiny remote island.

As if trying to teach the standard curriculum to Rowan (Rian Sheridan), Jacaranda (Elsie
Akinduko) and Scoochie Kaboochie (Penny O’Dwyer) wasn’t enough of a handful, Nero and his
class soon nd themselves hosting a string of unexpected guests - including local musician
Sylvia Barbados (Bronwyn Murphy-White), eccentric entrepreneur Hairbrush Hank (Alison
Spittle) and the leader of the mainland, Teabag Steve (Peter McGann).

And then, there are the school tours…but you will have to stay tuned to get on board!!
