In 2016-17, Shaun worked with Lin Coghlan to turn John Galsworthy’s classic family saga into sixteen hours of high octane radio drama. Broadcast as three pairs of books covering the Soames, Irene, Jon and Fleur dramas, followed by the Dinny trilogy.
This was a radical reinvention of the novels, exploring Galsworthy’s idea that if you don’t get the person you love, your whole life is set on a path to unhappiness.
Covering almost 70 years of British social history, the series explores how patterns are played out again and again by succeeding generations.
