À propos de cet audio
This is history at its best and most entertaining!
One moment Liselotte, the Duchess of Orleans is observing the Prince of Orange consummating his marriage in thick woollen drawers and the next, Harold Nicolson is at the Savoy Grill dining with the Prince of Wales and Mrs Simpson who is, 'bejewelled, eyebrow-plucked, virtuous and wise'. There's a young medical student watching his friend bowing to the crowd as he is hanged on the roof of Horsemonger Lane Gaol. We also share the past with Joe Orton and the Beatles, Captain Scott and the South Pole, Barbara Castle, Joyce Grenfell, Kenneth Williams and many other contributors… not forgetting the anonymous but harrowing account of a witch’s trial by water.
Dramatised and performed by a distinguished cast of over 30 actors, including Charles Dance, Harriet Walter, David Suchet, Timothy West, James Bolam, Maureen Lipman, Robert Powell, Jenny Agutter, Joss Ackland, Eleanor Bron, John Sessions, Imogen Stubbs.
Also available as part of the CHRONICLE BOX SET, over 11 hours of audio bliss.
