Alan Bennett's three classic BBC Radio full-cast dramas; Kafka's Dick, Forty Years On and An Englishman Abroad

 


Kafka's Dick - Alison Steadman, Richard Griffiths and Nigel Anthony star in this BBC Radio 4 version of Alan Bennett's acclaimed comedy drama, described by the Daily Telegraph's Gillian Reynolds as ' Pure joy '. Bennett's brilliantly clever comedy not only examines the relationship between life and art, but also asks what was Kafka's embarrassing little problem?


Forty Years On - Alan Bennett stars in the production of his own acclaimed satirical comedy about a headmaster of Albion House who is retiring and takes part in the end-of-year entertainment for the last time. It also stars Robert Bathurst and Eleanor Bron .


An Englishman Abroad - Michael Gambon and Penelope Wilton star as Guy Burgess and Coral Browne in this BBC Radio full-cast drama based on a real-life chance encounter in 1958 between the world famous spy and a Shakespearean actress.


Clever, funny and poignant, Alan Bennett's masterful plays are rightly regarded as modern classics.

It's not often that an acclaimed historian is revealed to be the author of light
verse, but John R. Alden here presents us with 1,707 couplets, quatrains, and other terse
verse in the tradition of Ogden Nash. His subject matter ranges from dinosaurs to computers,
from Confucius to Darwin, from Jonah to George Bush. His wit, wisdom, and powers of
observation are sure to amuse and delight. A sample: "How did Arkman Noah/Provide for
protozoa?"

John R. Alden died in 1991. Blackstone Audiobooks has also recorded his George Washington: A Biography and Rise of the American Republic.
