Language: EnglishKeywords: BBC Drama Radio Written by Graham Greene Format: MP3 Bitrate: 64 Kbps Dramatization Graham Greene was an English writer and journalist, regarded as one of the leading novelists of the 20th century. Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene acquired a reputation early in his lifetime as a major writer, both of serious novels, and of thrillers (or “entertainments” as he termed them). He was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in Literature several times. Across 67 years of writing, which included over 25 novels, he explored the conflicting moral and political issues of the modern world. He was awarded the 1968 Shakespeare Prize and the 1981 Jerusalem Prize. Collected here are twelve full-cast BBC Radio dramatisations of Greeneâs novels: A Burnt-Out Case Querry, a celebrated architect of churches believes himself burnt out: unable to feel anything for his profession, his faith or even the suicide of his mistress. He journeys to a remote leper colony in Africa. There, he hopes to live in obscurity, unconcerned with the fate of others and to die, but it seems that he may have a second chance to find both happiness and redemption.

He is approached by British intelligence and offered money to spy for his country. Wormold accepts the offer - the trouble is he doesn’t know the first thing about spying nor does he have any useful contacts or information. Loathe to give up his new source of income he hits upon the idea of creating intelligence and inventing fellow agents he has recruited. But when a news story reports that one of Wormold’s fictitious sources has been killed in a suspicious car accident, the story takes a weird and dark turn. It seems the KGB has discovered that he’s an M16 spy and they too believe his reports. Way out of his depth, Wormold is now on a desperate mission to save his other âsourcesâ whilst not being killed himself. Wormold â¦.. Rory Kinnear Hawthorne â¦.. Miles Jupp Hasselbacher â¦..
