The Kraken Wakes (Dramatised)

De: John Wyndham

Narrado por: Jonathan Cake, Saira Todd, David Fleeshman

John Wyndham's classic tale of monsters from the deep, alien invasion, and ecological disaster comes alive in this full-cast BBC radio dramatisation.

At first, the fireballs seemed to be nothing more than a dazzling display of lights in the sky, plunging into the deepest oceans and disappearing without trace. But when ships started sinking inexplicably and the sea-lanes became impassable, it seemed that the world was facing a threat of unprecedented proportions.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A shower of flaming meteorites disappears into the sea to re-emerge in horrific form, sucking down ships, attacking coastal towns and changing the direction of ocean currents so that the poles melt and the world begins to flood." ( The Times)

Incessant pillow talk smothers story

Interesting story marred by incessant pillow talk and glib reporters. When it's the end of the world from an alien invasion you would think that people would act differently.

Old Time Sci Fi

I did not like it very much. It was stylized like an old radio show, but it just did not translate well that way. And it developed slow.

Kraken Wakes Appalling Dramatisation

What a disappointment. Hopefully the writer of this dreadful dramatisation went on to a different career. The story is almost unrecognizable. Wyndham must be turning in his grave.
