Classic Serial: The Secret Agent

BBC Radio 4

1/2. By Joseph Conrad. When a terrorist bomb explodes in London, killing the bomber, all levels of the establishment and all anarchist circles feel threatened. Conrad's prescient black comedy, written in 1907, takes a wry look at the shabby truth behind the news. Dramatised for radio by David Napthine.
Producer/Director Jessica Dromgoole Repeated on Saturday at 9pm See also The Inextinguishable Fire tomorrow at 2.15pm
