A riot of a listen, this surreal and macabre comedy follows the smooth-talking Dr Caligari as he encourages unwilling guests to tell their story in his London nightclub. Written by Alan Gilbey, strange encounters and dark mysteries are recounted by guest acts on London’s most bizarre stage. Listen to a DJ haunted by calls from all those he has wronged, fall into the dreams of a yuppie estate agent battling with her trade union boss father and feel your flesh crawl as an MP discovers what ‘cuts’ to the NHS really mean. Meanwhile, the homeless of London are turned into a giant marauding blob and a horror film fan becomes trapped in a fantasy of his own creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrisly Tales from the Cabaret of Dr Caligari \u003c\/b\u003efeatures an all-star cast, including the legendary \u003cb\u003eJohn Woodvine\u003c\/b\u003e as Dr Caligari with \u003cb\u003eAdjoa Andoh\u003c\/b\u003e, best known for her role in Netflix’s \u003ci\u003eBridgerton\u003c\/i\u003e, alongside \u003cb\u003eStephen Tompkinson\u003c\/b\u003e who has appeared in the TV shows \u003ci\u003eDrop the Dead Donkey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBallykissangel\u003c\/i\u003e and the film \u003ci\u003eBrassed Off.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCast and credits\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by Alan Gilbey with jokes from Lee Hurst\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Anne Edyvean\u003cbr\u003eDr Calgari - \u003cb\u003eJohn Woodvine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnuff - \u003cb\u003eSylvester McCoy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthrax - \u003cb\u003eVictoria Wicks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDJ Rick O’Shea - \u003cb\u003eKerry Shale\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracey\/Gail\/The Computer - \u003cb\u003eJane Whittenshaw\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDonna\/Ali\/Estate Agent\/Mrs Meagre - \u003cb\u003eAdoja Andoh\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeith - \u003cb\u003eMark Straker \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSparks\/Wayne\/Postman\/The Present - \u003cb\u003eClarence Smith \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKevin Scorch\/Tope Romero - \u003cb\u003eStephen Tompkinson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBernie Cladding\/Tarquin -\u003cb\u003e Ronald Herdman\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSidney Grease\/Jeremy\/Damien\/Agent Orange\/The Future - \u003cb\u003eAlan Barker \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDebbie Brothers -\u003cb\u003e Joanna May\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Flash’ Jack Brothers - \u003cb\u003eRoger Watkins\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTom - \u003cb\u003eTerence Edmond\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDick - \u003cb\u003eEric Allan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarrie\/Kate Pushy\/The Past - \u003cb\u003eCassie Macfarlane\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe General - \u003cb\u003eCharles Milham\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHomeless Geordie - \u003cb\u003eGerald Denny\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHomeless Boy -\u003cb\u003e David McKinney\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Pseudonym - \u003cb\u003eRichard Tate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hitchhiker - \u003cb\u003eSharon Henry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMr Meagre - \u003cb\u003eJohn Shrapnel \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst Broadcast BBC Radio 4, 7th Nov - 12th Dec 1991\u003cbr\u003e©2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49353423323440,"sku":"BDi56v","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/470765-i56v-Square.jpg?v=1734345452","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-i56v","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
