About this listen

London. A city drowning in fog. Amid that fog, a man with no name dies above a strange junkshop. Threads of mist and intrigue weave around a court case with no resolution, linking great country houses with the lowest slum in the city, mingling the high-born with a boy who sweeps the filthy streets, enshrouding devious plots and sudden murder, bringing together two extraordinary women – Lady Dedlock and Esther Summerson - who seem to have nothing whatsoever in common but who will find themselves inextricably linked.

Audible's trilogy of Dickens dramatizations, executive produced by Sam Mendes, and with a new original score by Dan Gillespie-Sells, concludes with the most dramatic and atmospheric yet, starring Thandiwe Newton (Westworld), Ambika Mod (One Day), Mackenzie Crook (The Office) and Mark Strong (Kingsman).

Everything about this is stellar.
I will listen to, and read, anything and all things by Charles Dickens, but this adaptation is particularly good for those not familiar with his work, and feels modern, relevant and classless.
'Bleak House' is a love story, a mystery, a whodunnit, a social commentary, a coming-of-age and morality tale.
This performance in particular is well-edited (apt here because the original work is long, as per Dickens).
It's also dark, but also witty and wonderfully performed, produced and orchestrated by a world-class cast and crew.
The Dolby Surround sound tops it off to create an absorbing and atmospheric minor masterpiece that pull you in when you put your headphones in/on.
I think Charles Dickens himself would've approved of the update.
Do listen.
This is fab! 👏
