thanks for all your great Peake blogs.
It's wonderful you are attracting attention to such a brilliant artist.The studio shots are fascinating-are there any more? Is radio acting more difficult?
I would love to know as the actors are amazing at portraying their characters unseen.
That's the magic of radio & I hope you receive many accolades for your adaptation.
Enjoyed the pictures, thank you.
