Writer Colette's classic works brought to life in a unique audio collection Listen for the first time to this stunning collection of five of Colette's most celebrated works, compiled and created by BBC Radio. French author and woman of letters, Colette is best known for her 1944 novella Gigi, which became the stage musical launching the career of Audrey Hepburn. Known for her frank, direct and honest way of writing about women and female friendships, Colette's stories champion the female perspective and all feature strong women protagonists. Considered immoral and shocking at the time, her works are now cherished as a fresh insight into the female experience of the era and she is celebrated for the sheer quality of her writing. This exclusive collection includes, Gigi, Cheri, Claudine at School, The Vagabond and Sido and features performances from Lindsay Duncan (Sherlock, Starter for 10, Doctor Who), Paul Ritter (Friday Night Dinner), Frances Barber, Brigit Forsyth and Dame Peggy Ashcroft. Also included is a bonus edition of In Our Time, hosted by Melvyn Bragg as he and guests discuss Colette, her life, her works and her significant cultural impact.In the classic Gigi, we follow the story of a young woman in Paris, who is being groomed by her grandmother for the life of a courtesan. Cheri is a semi-autobiographical story following an enduring love affair between a courtesan and a man half her age. Claudine at School is heavy with erotic over tones, and this full cast dramatisation explores the life of the enchanting Claudine as she navigates her journey to womanhood. The Vagabond tells the story of a divorcee dancer in a Paris music hall, she is pursued by a wealthy admirer. Will she allow herself to fall in love a second time?Finally, Dame Peggy Ashcroft narrates Sido, based on Colette's memories of her own mother.Text copyright (c) Colette 1900 (Claudine at School), 1910 (Vagabond), 1920 (Cheri), 1929 (Sido), 1944 (Gigi)Gigi Translated from the French and adapted by Barbara BrayProduced by Raymond RaikesCast: Margaret Robertson, Margaret Rawlings, Carol Marsh, Robert Hardy, Hilda Kriseman, Ian Thompson, Isabel JeansCheriDirected by Pauline HarrisCast: Lindsay Duncan, Joseph Millson, Frances Barber, Brigit Forsyth, Laura Harding, Conrad Nelson, Judith DavisClaudine at SchoolAdapted by Yvonne MitchellProduced and directed by Liane AukinCast: Fidelis Morgan, Rosalind Adams, Anne Rosenfeld, Jean Rogers, Nigel Lambert, Diana Bishop, Joan Matheson, Carole Hayman, Haydn Jones, Pamela Moiseiwitsch, Shane Briant,Michael Harbour, Peter Howell, Timothy Bateson, Edward KelseyThe VagabondDramatised by Charlotte CoryDirected by Mary PeateCast: Clare Higgins, Paul Ritter, Allan Corduner, David Thorpe, Jasmine HydeSido Abridged by B.
