Houseman and Welles split as co-workers shortly after Welles began his film career. They weren't enemies, but they never worked together again either. Go figure. This 7 part series is the best audio adaptation of Miserables I've ever heard.
enjoyable

it is fun hearing a theatrical version that is not musical.
