Hangover Square

Set in late 1930s London, "Hangover Square" is the brilliant and disquieting tale of George Harvey Bone, a perpetual drunk. He suffers from 'dark' moods, which click on and off without warning, as if someone has tripped a switch in his head. On his supposedly better days, George whiles away his time nursing a pint or six and obsessing about the attractive but cruel small-time actress Netta. Disgusted by his own helpless devotion and his increasingly erratic behaviour, George is driven to the edge - culminating in "Hangover Square's" spectacular and haunting climax. Read by Julian Rhind-Tutt, esteemed actor who first became famous in Green Wing.
