This is the best radio drama I have heard in a very long time. A wonderful story with a brilliant cast I had to listen to all the episodes in one go. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Excellent Dramatization

I had never heard of Dickens' novella called Edwin Drood, but was thrilled with this brooding, wonderfully acted play adapted from it! Bravo!
