Reviews"Maggs . . . does soundscapes after the manner of Turner painting sea storms. In Neverwhere when Benedict Cumberbatch flew you heard, saw and felt his angel's wings rise." --Gillian Reynolds, Telegraph, Nobody anticipated the impact the BBC's 2013 adaptation of Neil Gaiman's cult novel by the same name would have... the production was a smash hit with Gaiman fans and non-fans alike, propelling the audio play into the public eye and showing just how exciting the form can be.
