Neverwhere

A BBC Radio Full-Cast Dramatisation

Beneath the streets of London there is another London. A subterranean labyrinth of sewers and abandoned tube stations. A somewhere that is Neverwhere... An act of kindness sees Richard Mayhew catapulted from his ordinary life into the strange world of London Below. There he meets the Earl of Earl's Court, faces a life-threatening ordeal at the hands of the Black Friars, comes face to face with the Great Beast of London, and encounters an Angel. Called Islington. Accompanied by the mysterious Door and her companions, the Marquis de Carabas and the bodyguard Hunter, Richard embarks on an extraordinary quest to escape from the fiendish assassins Croup and Vandemar and to discover who ordered them to murder her family - all the while trying to get back to his old life in London Above. Adapted for radio by the award-winning Dirk Maggs, this captivating dramatisation features a stellar cast including David Harewood, Sophie Okonedo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Christopher Lee, Anthony Head and David Schofield. Contains over 25 minutes of additional unbroadcast material, including extended scenes, bloopers and outtakes.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Nobody anticipated the impact the BBC’s 2013 adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s cult novel by the same name would have… the production was a smash hit with Gaiman fans and non-fans alike, propelling the audio play into the public eye and showing just how exciting the form can be.

Maggs... does soundscapes after the manner of Turner painting sea storms. In Neverwhere when Benedict Cumberbatch flew you heard, saw and felt his angel’s wings rise. (Gillian Reynolds)

funny but haunting... black humour and deft characterisations (Chris Maume)

Absolutely Amazing Story

Completely fell in Love with this entire cast! Especially the Marquis and Hunter!!! I hope many more audiobooks are done with the same group. 💯🙌❣️

Devin Sewell Review

I love dramatic readings it brings the story to life and it makes you feel that you're there Incredible work everyone!

Wonderful listen

This story was a little overwhelming at first with all the different characters and so much going on but after a couple chapters of getting to know the characters I love this story.

Great listen!

I really enjoyed this story. Excellent acting and sound effects as well! Funny as well as serious.

Pretty decent story

I don’t usually get into live action stories, but this one turned out pretty good. I especially loves the “bloopers” at the end. This story had character, depth, and some lite comedy
