Another well done production by BBC!

I love listening to Audio Dramas. For those who don't know what they are, they're a dramatisation of an abridged story. They are similar to listening to a theatre production except they give clues to what's happening that we are unable to see (like "what's that in your hand?"). BBC does exceptionally well with radio dramas.
The story was engaging, but it was the drama that kept me captivated. Even when the Aunt (Mme Raquin) was paralysed, you can still tell what's going on in her head... brilliant. Originally, this was a 2x 1hr episodes.

If any one is interested in the credits, you'll find them below:
Therese ...... Charlotte Riley
Laurent ...... Andrew Buchan
Camille ...... Toby Hadoke
Mme Raquin ...... Pauline Jefferson
Michaud ...... Rob Pickavance
Suzanne ...... Deborah McAndrew
Manager/Assistant ...... Carl Cieka
Pierre/Beggar ...... Drew Carter Cain

Yes, I do recommend this audiobook!
