Concert Information

Join the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 for radio drama, The Kraken Wakes. This modern retelling of John Wyndham's 1953 apocalyptic novel, is adapted by crime writer and dramatist Val McDermid and stars Tamsin Greig, Paul Higgins and Richard Harrington.

This is a rare chance to see a radio drama recorded for Radio 4 with a live orchestral accompaniment from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic.

Composer Alan Edward Williams has created a brand new orchestral score that will ‘play the part’ of the great sea monster during the performance.

The Kraken Wakes will be recorded as a live performance in two parts. The drama will then be broadcast later in the year on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
