Gripping full-cast radio dramatisations of four of Charles Dickens'
classic masterpieces Charles Dickens is one of the most renowned
novelists of all time, and this final volume of the dramatised
canon of his work includes some of his most complex and compelling
novels. A Tale of Two Cities Set during the French Revolution, this
radio retelling of Dickens' powerful story of love, cruelty,
violence and redemptionwon the 2012 Bronze Sony Award for Best
Drama. Great Expectations This classic tale explores the turbulent
childhood of orphan Pip, his quest to find his true identity, and
his growth to maturity through misfortune and misery. Our Mutual
Friend Charles Dickens' last complete novel is a sweeping satire of
wealth and corruption, centred around London's great river Thames.
The Mystery of Edwin Drood In Dickens' unfinished masterpiece, the
arrival in Cloisterham of Neville and Helena Landless, twins from
Ceylon, sets in motion a chain of events which leads to murder.
With a star-studded cast including Robert Lindsay, Douglas Hodge,
Geraldine McEwan, Amanda Redman, Alex Jennings and Ian Holm, these
BBC radio adaptations are rich in drama, romance, suspense and
tragedy. Cast and credits Written by Charles Dickens A Tale of Two
