Ngaio Marsh - (Radio) Death and the Dancing Footman

  • last year
Radio adaptation of Ngaio Marsh's 1941 novel.

First broadcast 27th December 1986.

Jonathan Royal is a man rich enough to indulge his somewhat extravagant sense of the theatrical. But when he hits on the bizarre idea of throwing a weekend party with guests who have good reasons to loathe one another, his malicious comedy quickly turns to tragedy.
