The House of the Seven Flies is a 1952 thriller novel by the British writer Victor Canning.
In 1959 it was adapted into the film The House of the Seven Hawks directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Robert Taylor, Nicole Maurey and Linda Christian.
Saturday Night Theatre was a long-running radio drama strand on BBC Radio 4. The strand showcased feature-length, middle-brow single plays on Saturday evenings for more than 50 years, having been launched in April 1943. The plays featured in the strand included stage plays, book adaptations and original dramatizations. For most of its history, programs ran for 90 minutes and were largely entertainment-centered, such as thrillers, comedies and mysteries. (Wikipedia)

A really good play. Thank you very much as ever.

@andrewarthurmatthews6685 3 месяца назад

It’s so good with radio when the location needs to be established so we hear a pipe organ and immediately the listener is transported to Holland within minutes

@michaelberg9656 2 месяца назад

I'd call it a street organ or barrel organ, "pipe organ" suggests a church or concert hall. But yes you are right!

@Failte630 Год назад

Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed listening to it. I did think it was drawn out a bit too much at that end and the romantic piece was unbelievable the way it happened. But overall a good plot. Thanks

Another great adventure - a bit drawn out at the end, but still good fun. Thankyou.

Classic radio 📻

@TheNemocharlie 4 года назад

Thank you for finding this gem of a play. I won't spoil it for others but the plot pivots on a unique black and white agent! Incidentally, many of the plays of this era featured actors from the BBC repertory company. This accounts for the casts that routinely featured over twenty of them - a cost effective but significant amount of on-going cost. Today, most of any drama output features casts that can be counted on the fingers of one hand which seriously limits the material available. Also, who is there now writing radio fiction? Having said that, it's worth finding anything by Julian Simpson who is never boring and always creative. His characters loosely inhabit the same world in an often surprising way. There are some on utube but all can be found on his own website.

Thank you.

@maisiesummerfield265 2 года назад

quite impressed with the Dutch pronunciation but there is a confusion with Mr which should be Meneer (menear) and not Mein Herr which is German - never mind, cracking plot

@feralbluee 3 года назад

fabulous - on the edge of my chair for most of it - such a good play. thanks much :) 🌷🙃

@michealburnettis2 10 месяцев назад

I liked this. Matters not, if they do not do this standard, any more. 😂 Here it is. Rejoice, Rejoice!! 😂 Yes, sadly. But, we do not have the Groat, either! Rejoice in what is Remembrance of times past, Can lead to Maudling & sadness!! 🎁💐🌹🇮🇪🎊🎈🎶🍾🤣😜

What a terrific, gripping story, not dumbed down enough for today’s audience, I suspect as the BBC decided our attention span for a drama can only attain an hour, then 45 minutes and finally 15 minutes. Such arrogance

@zoyablake9538 4 года назад

It's scary how little attention people can pay nowadays, even to something interesting.

@thebrainpimp136 3 года назад

If YOU liked it it's worth while

@TheVaughan5 2 года назад

Well I think the BBC are being premature catering for the ever growing short attention span syndrome but it’s coming to a time not too far distant when this will be the norm. The downside of modern technology that can have so much to offer the enquiring mind but those of that ilk are fast disappearing.

@andrewarthurmatthews6685 3 месяца назад

Yes having grown up listening to radio four afternoon plays that were a full hour and the Saturday evening plays were one and a half hours it’s so disappointing that the bbc are gradually shortening these radio dramas

Synopsis: Edward Furse charters out his yacht to a man who becomes extremely sea sick. Later, when he checks on him, the man is dead. Going through his luggage he finds maps to a dangerous find.

@feralbluee 3 года назад

just Why???!!! this is totally unnecessary!

@tottiemae2258 3 года назад

@@feralbluee Well, lots of listeners ask for a synopsis so they can decide if they want to listen to it. I do it as a kindness for them. Most books, radio plays, tv shows, and movies come with a brief summary for that reason. I'm sorry if you find it unnecessary.
