Charles Dickens’ classic revisited. London. A city drowning in fog. A man with no name dies above a strange junkshop. Threads of mist and intrigue weave around a court case with no resolution, linking great country houses with the lowest slums in the city, mingling the high-born with a boy who sweeps the filthy streets (Lenny Rush), enshrouding devious plots and sudden murder, bringing together two extraordinary women – Lady Dedlock (Thandiwe Newton) and Esther Summerson (Ambika Mod) – who apparently have nothing whatsoever in common, yet find themselves inextricably linked.

The last of Audible’s trilogy of Dickens dramatisations concludes with a dramatic and atmospheric finale. Dramatised by Marty Ross, executive produced by Sam Mendes, original score by Dan Gillespie-Sells and sound design by Joe Richardson. Cast inlcudes Thandiwe Newton, Ambika Mod, Mackenzie Crook, Mark Strong, Lenny Rush, Mark Gatiss, Adeel Akhtar, Miriam Margolyes, Sophie Stone, Philip Glenister, Alex Austin, Sule Rimi, Jonathan Slinger, Saffron Coomber, Jonathan Case, Mat Fraser and more.
