From time out of mind, popular culture has depicted the scythe-wielding Grim Reaper as a cowled, phantom figure with skeletal limbs. In this story, however, the harvester of humanity assumes a human face...
'The Scythe' was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 4 December 1997 with an exceptional cast featuring John Guerrasio, Bryony Glasgow, Hugh Dickson, Barbara Barnes and Barclay Wright.
I hope you find it a memorable listen: it still brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye...
Tomorrow: 'The Wind'
