Bobby Garcia with TONY winner Clint Ramos directed the wordless play, while Christopher Mohnani for Ayala Land and GMG Producers produced it.

Last month, Garcia explained the story of the performance to be essayed by whom he described "two of the country's finest performers".

“[They] will alternate in performing this unique theatrical experience about our universal need for human contact and the global crisis that is loneliness,” he shared, as quoted in a press release.

"Request sa Radyo" is critically praised for its compelling depiction of loneliness.  It was first produced in Stuttgart in 1973, then was later translated to English by Katharina Hehn.
