The Incarceration Of Hubert Gray by S. Prendergast


(5 stars)

This is one of my favourite appearances in BBC radio drama by Mr Nigel Anthony - here playing against the work's author, Mr Shaun Prendergast who is equally good & unnerving. The characters all have distinct voices which makes for easy listening. Davies, (played by Prendergast) is so intriguing he could be the subject of a series of plays from his childhood on.. For me the conclusion is both frustrating and inevitable. Nigel Anthony is a prolific radio performer; I particularly recommend his version of 'Time After Tim'e by Gerry Jones - I think - and 'The Fruit At the Bottom Of The Bowl' a short story by Ray Bradbury.
