Death at the Dolphin - Ngaio Marsh - BBC Saturday Night Theatre 

A couple of years ago I read ALL of Ngaio Marsh's books, short stories and autobiography. I love her. I don't think she gets the credit she deserves for being such a wonderful writer. Beautifully written prose that you can sink your teeth into. Glad to see this here. Thanks.

I so very much enjoy these old British radio dramas (not the US ones at all unfortunately) I have problems falling off to sleep and find them such a good way to wind down at the end of the day, the only problem is I usually have to listen to the same play more than once I hate to miss the end of the stories. Thanks to Chesterton radio for your fantastic uploads!

What a treat! I've read Ngaio Marsh for decades. It was a treat to hear one of her stories in audio. Well done! Thank you!

Enjoyed it immensely. I'm a fan of Dame Ngaio Marsh. Thank you!

Love this story. Presented with great charm. Thank you for providing this.

Great story! Thanks. Your synopses are very helpful. 🙏🏾

Thank you much. One gripe, however: wish this were three hours longer. Some people are never satisfied.

Love Ngaio Marsh - many thanks for the upload.

As I've said way more than 2 years ago, what a fantastic play I enjoyed it once again. And I'll thank this provider as I've done the others in the past.... Please excuse my adventurous way of thinking.... As I babbled in the other comment Well,. Take care.......

Love Ngaio Marsh, Thankyou

Every enjoyable listening indeed! Thank you.

She's NZ's crime writing queen ..love her stories.

Excellent..had a quiet afternoon listening to this as the rain battered down outside

“Let’s forget about him now!”? Rather swift amnesia, that. NO SPOILER. But when you’ve got to the end, my fellow listeners, you’ll know to what I refer. Good listening! A smashing crime drama that starts off dramatically but slowly & builds to a satisfying if quiet finish. A ripping rather intellectual whodunit. What we have learnt to expect from N Marsh.

Thanks for uploading this.

Thank you

Nicely constructed detective thriller set in the newly reopened Shakespearean Dolphin Theatre. Long build up while you wonder who the victim will be then a swift who done it. Satisfying

RADIO DRAMAS Death at the dolphin Is that Micheal Ripper voice sounds familiar remember him being in some hammer horror films from the sixties. Great radio drama i like Who are the cast of this radio drama

Liked this better than the book!

Marsh is better than Allingham. Most of her novels are an absolute delight! The novels she wrote in her 80s are better than Christie’s when the latter was the same age.

That voice sounds familiar is that micheal ripper the film actor

M ay she rest in peace.

I was enjoying the play but there seemed to be a crackling noise in the background that was very annoying.

I always think of the Five go mad in Dorset when I hear the stereotype cockney character!

JUST. . USE. YOUR IMAGINATION Walking up to the front of the boarded-up ticket booth ? Double doors on both sides, to a front lobby with a counter of where the popcorn is or was ? And the Ghostly Girl standing behind the counter waiting to serve you ... And you have an usher on each side that would take your ticket and walk you down to the seat ? In this circumstance it would be two ghostly Usher's Ha. Ha. Ha.... In. Real reality What - Fun........ ""Walking back into time""" Really do you know how exciting that would really really be. Today ? ( in 2020 ) Have you ever been in, an old building ? "" Of course you have. "" -- Not a movie theater ; -- an old drug store -- something like that Now my friends, Have you ever been in an old (closed up) Vaudeville then movie (( Theater )) I certainly have about, 45 years ago. I guess yes I'm showing my age. Now, besides that to restore something to its original capacity is an magnificent thing to do. It's so much better than building new homes you're really bringing something back to life. Now yes this is only a play I've listened to it before in the past Now it's been so long I don't remember the play... So as a spectator I'm going to head back and start from the very beginning and listen to the creaky door. I will begin to listen as every one else of the talking about the 1880s. The magical time of Vaudeville I love old history, Even though It's partially make believe See you later Enjoy as I will ; Everyone.........

Didn't like this one,

Not th usual alley story. Twenty minutes in and 're boring.The murder seems hours off. Hope it improves.
