The Death of Grass
Item! David Mitchell will be narrating an adaptation of The Death of Grass by John Christopher (writer of the Tripods trilogy that 30-something geeks might remember seeing the first two thirds of on the telly in the 80s) for the forthcoming sci-fi season that Radios 4 and 3 have coming up. As well as Mr Mitchell on narrating duties it also features Gus Brown (you know, from that sketch show and other things) and Abigail Burdess (ditto) as well as Jon Dryden Taylor who also did the adapting (and another one of those sketch writers who seem to be everywhere). Mr Taylor tells me David is “unsurprisingly brilliant at it” which is of course unsurprising. It’s on Radio 4 in the first week of March: five episodes from Monday to Friday at 10.45 am and 7.45pm.
Imagine that, but with voices instead of old book covers.
