Tom Stoppard: A BBC Radio Drama Collection

Tom Stoppard


The collected BBC radio productions of the internationally renowned playwright Tom Stoppard showcase a rich selection of Stoppard’s works, perfect for audiobook enthusiasts. This collection features the award-winning Arcadia, adapted for radio with the original cast from the acclaimed National Theatre production, alongside two of his iconic plays: the humorous The Real Inspector Hound and the groundbreaking Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. The collection also includes the poignant drama Dalliance, inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s Liebelei, along with thought-provoking works like Rock ‘n’ Roll and Professional Foul, each exploring themes of resistance to totalitarianism and personal conflict against the backdrop of Stoppard’s home country, Czechoslovakia.

This audiobook features notable performances from a stellar cast, including Hugh Grant, Rufus Sewell, Bill Nighy, Felicity Kendal, Harriet Walter, and many others. It also includes eight original radio plays by Stoppard, such as the award-winning Albert’s Bridge, In the Native State, and Darkside, the latter inspired by Pink Floyd’s classic album. With direction from acclaimed figures such as David Benedictus, Gordon House, and Alison Hindell, this collection offers a unique auditory experience that brings Stoppard’s brilliant dialogue and themes to life.
