THE OTHER SIMENON - SERIES 3
The Confessional
by Georges Simenon, dramatised for radio by Ronald Frame

The third in our series of new dramatisations by Ronald Frame of stories by Georges Simenon.
When he wasn't writing Maigret, Georges Simenon produced a huge body of novels, often tough, gripping and psychologically-penetrating dissections of lives confounded by fate. 

The Confessional centres on teenager Andre Bar. By rights he should be happy and contented. He has doting parents, he lives in the opulent setting of the Cote d'Azur, he has no troubles in school, and he has a sympathetic girlfriend, Francine. But all is by no means well. His parents dislike each other intensely and he is in the force-field of their tensions, battling to preserve his integrity and sanity.

Drama on 4: The Other Simenon

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
