In this Audible Exclusive performance by Matt Lucas of Great Expectations, Charles Dickens demonstrates that conscience, loyalty and empathy are virtues far more valuable than intellect, wealth and social standing. First published in Dickens’ own periodical, All the Year Round, the novel was divided into nine monthly instalments, from December 1860 to August 1861. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success and managed to sell over 100,000 copies per week. Though written at a challenging time in Dickens’ life, when the impending breakdown of his marriage loomed over him, Great Expectations proves to be one of his most optimistic, comical and romantic novels.

Joining us in the Audible Studios to talk about not one but two recent audio projects is actor and comedian Matt Lucas. Matt is well known for Little Britain and Come Fly with Me but has many more strings to his bow - adding the narration of Charles’ Dickens epic Great Expectations to his achievements, along with performing Fagin in the audio drama Dodge and Twist. At a finished time of 20 hours and 39 minutes long, narrating Great Expectations was no mean feat. It has, though, been met with rave reviews - so time well spent!

It’s rumoured that Dickens wanted to return to his classic novel Oliver Twist, to bring him back into a later book as an older character, but he never managed this before he died. However, if Oliver had returned, what would he have been like? Would the scars of his childhood affect the man he would become? And what of ‘Dodger’, sent to a land halfway around the world, his friend, mentor and master dead because of Oliver? Dodge & Twist is that story. The tale of two boys, 12 years later, returning into each other’s lives - for both good and bad.

We're joined in the Audible Studios by the award-winning comedian, actor and writer Matt Lucas, to discuss his first autobiography, Little Me: My Life from A-Z. Lucas started his comedy career in the early '90s, working with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, before going on to gain major success with co-star David Walliams in Little Britain and Come Fly with Me, for which they won three BAFTAs, three NTAs and two International Emmy Awards.

Qual è la vera identità dell’uomo che si fa chiamare Boris Groen? Ha composto un’opera musicale innovativa che ha inaugurato la stagione della National Opera House di Londra, tutti parlano del suo talento ma nessuno sa chi realmente sia. Inizia con un enigma questo strabiliante romanzo di Mary Westmacott, meglio nota come Agatha Christie... e non poteva essere che così. Sarebbe però riduttivo definire quest’opera un giallo, o un romanzo d’amore.

In una tiepida notte mediorientale Raymond e Carol Boynton sussurrano tra loro... sono affacciati alla finestra della stanza del loro hotel, stanno condannando a morte la loro matrigna. Agatha Christie ambienta questa vicenda che ha il ritmo di un vero e proprio thriller, tra Gerusalemme, Petra e Amman e si supera, come non mai, nella narrazione della realtà agghiacciante in cui la famiglia Boynton vive, gravata dalle suggestioni provocate dal loro disagio psichico.
