Re: "My Dear Bessie" radioplay

Thank you for the download link provided thought I have listened it already but just can't resist to listen Ben's voice again. Just a bit short for Louise's part.

Re: "My Dear Bessie" radioplay

Thanks for the link.  Listened to it yesterday and loved every syllable. 

Kind of reminds me of David McCullough's wonderful bio of John Adams which included many, many excerpts from the over 1000 letters which he corresponded with his wife Abigail.  Very personal, sometimes very passionate and always very expressive of deep emotion (and sometimes very sexy on both of their parts).

Just a sublime enjoyment sitting back and listening to two such talented actors in BC and LB pour out the emotions of Bessie and Chris' missives.

Re: "My Dear Bessie" radioplay

I had a chance to listen to this on the train today and I just have to say I loved it! Ben always manages to bring the words to life!
