THE HISTORY OF TITUS GROAN – BBC AUDIO DRAMA AWARDS – BEST ADAPTATION

Congratulations to Brian Sibley and all the cast and crew!


(ripped, still pulsing, from Brian Sibley – his blog): 
The citation for the Adaptation Award praised all aspects of the production:
The judges described this as "a brilliant piece of radio drama. It was a hugely ambitious undertaking to adapt the darkly comic, surreal and visual world of Mervyn Peake's novels for sound and this adaptation is faithful to both the spirit and the landscape of the originals.

The almost Dickensian characters (wonderfully realised by an outstanding cast), the exquisite language and a rich and original soundscape works for both Peake aficionados and new listeners."
And here’s a plug for the aforementioned auditory hallucination:
