About this listen

It is June 1940. The war against Hitler’s forces is raging. And the tide is turning against the British. In this hour of despair, Prime Minister Winston Churchill receives a mysterious letter from an even more mysterious woman, offering a Faustian bargain and a promise of victory. But if Churchill accepts, will he be condemning his nation’s very soul?

Darkness Visible is based on the graphic novel of the same name, written by Mike Carey and Arvind Ethan David, and stars Christian McKay as Winston Churchill and Miranda Richardson as Lady Vivian.

Earworms is a series of short, speculative fiction dramas–tales of what might have been...or might yet be...or perhaps in fact are, if only you were paying attention...if only you were listening.

Taught, atmospheric and thought provoking. I’ve always enjoyed the ‘what ifs’ of history and Science-Fiction and this has some very good ‘what ifs’..

Atmospheric

It was fine but once again no one copy proofed the writing by the (I assume) American adapter. We do not address individuals in the Army as soldier but by their rank and never, never, never would one say The HMS Anything!

fascinating political messages and an interesting take on WW2 in this adapted theatrical story.
everything after act 2 had me in tears, only Britain could have tried to negotiate an immigration quota for the Devil's demons...i could not stop laughing.

Nice take on WW2 and how it was won. Very well read and performed. I wish it could have been fleshed out a bit more.

Great short story.

A well acted little production. Like the sort of fun that Radio 4 used to produce in the good old days. Well worth a listen. Nothing too serious.

Good fun and short
