Heart of Darkness is a powerful adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel, originally published in 1899. This drama, aired on BBC Radio 3, follows Marlow, a sea captain tasked with sailing up the Congo River to uncover the fate of Mr. Kurtz, an ivory trader. As Marlow journeys deeper into the heart of the jungle, he confronts the darkness that lies within both the land and the human soul.

The adaptation, crafted by Jeremy Howe, features a talented cast including David Calder as Marlow and Bill Wallis as Mr. Kurtz. The story serves as a profound reflection on the corruptive nature of European colonialism and the psychological turmoil of its characters.
