BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, Joseph Andrews Remixed, Episode 2

An 18th-century comic romp - Joseph's misadventures on the road with an up-to-date twist.

Joseph continues to wander the byways of England and have adventures that reveal humanity's foolishness in Shaun McKenna's remixed version of Fielding's comic satire of the day.

Written by Shaun McKenna and based on Henry Fielding’s novel.

Henry Fielding is in the middle of writing his new novel, his first big prose work, a comic romp satirising the manners and morals of the day. In Shaun McKenna's new  version, Harry's wife is helping him write it. Smart, witty Charlotte and her famous husband talk (and often disagree) about the twists and turns in the concluding episode of the story and introduce some new comedic characters. Joseph's misadventures on the road continue but will they end happily?
