About this product
Product Information
Kris Marshall and Katherine Jakeways star as Mr & Mrs Pepys in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of the world famous diaries. Samuel Pepys was 26 when he decided to start keeping a diary, in January 1660. For the next ten years he faithfully recorded the day's events and confessed his innermost thoughts. That diary has since become one of our most important, and fascinating, historical documents. Pepys gave us eyewitness accounts of some of the great events of the 17th century, including the Great Fire of London and the Second Dutch War. He also told us what people ate and wore, what they did for fun, the tricks they played on each other, what they expected of marriage, and even how they conducted love affairs. He described London - the frozen river Thames, the rising crime rate and the poverty - and recorded the details of his own life: his wife, rivals, lovers and friends, his work for the Navy, his drinking and social life. Over 350 years may have passed since Pepys first put pen to paper, but the man and his preoccupations feel surprisingly familiar. In this major BBC Radio dramatisation of the journals, the sights and sounds of his world are vividly conjured. This collection comprises all ten radio series plus a special Saturday Drama centring on the Great Fire of London.Product Identifiers

The dramatic portrayal and insight into the characters is splendid.
This is the second copy I have purchased: this one for a Norwegian friend who is a keen student of Pepys. I have a copy of the published diary and have also listened to it read by Kenneth Branagh. This dramatised production is so accessible with all the nuances of Pepys's foibles and shortcomings and his relationships with his family, servants, lady friends and employers and the historical references of the times.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
