Charles Dickens Commits
Murder by RAYMUND FITZSTMONS with It is 1869. Dickens has returned to his house at Gad's Hill for the weekend. A sick man, he is working his way through a farewell reading tour of Britain. His face is lined with pain and he drags one foot. Yet he has chosen to add to his repertoire the murder of Nancy by Bill
Sikes from Oliver Twist. He sits alone in his study rehearsing this most demanding of all his readings.
Music arranged and performed by GEORGE DEACON
AND ISOBEL DEACON
Producer JOHN KNIGHT. BBC Bristol
