Editor reviews
A one-of-a-kind series of classic radio dramas from English and Scottish literature, Theatre Royal has been praised for its craft and excellence. This fully-restored and remastered edition features two of Britain’s greatest actors, Ralph Richardson and John Mills. Performing with an anecdotal flair, Richardson uses his plummy-voiced charm to wonderful effect in an adaptation of A. J. Alan's good-humored story about a brush with the supernatural. In the second drama, Mills' deliberate performance stresses the psychological implications of "The Kite", based on W. Somerset Maugham’s story about a man’s obsession with kite flying.
