Above the Title Afternoon Play, Hoffnung - Drawn to Music, starring Matt Lucas, Gina McKee and Hugh Bonneville comes to BBC Radio 4 on Monday 28th September at 2.15pm

“No previous knowledge of Hoffnung or his work is required: this drama stands alone for the utter brilliance of the acting, the anarchic nature of the language and some of the strangest musical sound effects to be heard on the radio. This is an absolute delight.”  says Jane Anderson, Radio Times.

Matt Lucas, playing eccentric musician Gerard Hoffnung, was also offered similar praise “His enuciatory skills and vocal acrobatics are fautless and, in both cases, perfectly matched to the eccentricities of the character he is playing”

Listen to the play on the BBC iPlayer from Monday 28th Septmber.
