Michael Frayn Skios

SANWAL

Skios By Michael Frayn On the Greek island of Skios, guests of a celebrated foundation prepare for the yearly lecture, given by scientific guru Dr Norman Wilfred. He turns out to be surprisingly charismatic. In fact he's not Dr Wilfred but a handsome chancer called Oliver Fox who has allowed himself to be misidentified. Meanwhile sexy Georgie, awaiting Oliver, is trapped in a remote villa with the real Dr Wilfred; he has lost his luggage and himself. In 'Skios', skilfully dramatised by Archie Scottney, an international cast delivers us to the outer limits of hilarity. Martin Jarvis says: 'A joy to direct. Much laughter in studio and on location as we recorded Michael Frayn's philosophic farce of pretension, delusion and mislaid identity.’ Dramatised by Archie Scottney Sound design: Mark Holden and Wes Dewberry Producer Rosalind Ayres Director Martin Jarvis A Jarvis & Ayres Production for BBC Radio 4.  Saturday Drama First broadcast:  Sat 12th Jan 2013 14:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM Dr Wilfred: Hugh Bonneville Oliver Fox: Tom Hollander Nikki Hook: Lisa Dillon Georgie: Janie Dee Mr Friendly: Stacy Keach Mrs Toppler: Susan Sullivan Mr Chailey: Ian Ogilvy Mrs Chailey: Joanne Whalley Annuka Vos: Amita Dhiri Elli: Agni Scott Spiros: Jon Glover Stavros: Jon Glover Patrick: Matthew Wolf Eric: Matthew Wolf Official: Nigel Anthony Ditmuss: Kerry Shale Mrs Friendly: Jennifer Bassey Suki Brox: Cindy Katz Papadopoulou: Andre Sogliuzzo Reg Bolt: Darren Richardson Mrs Skorbatova: Janine Barris Harold: Alan Shearman Bishop: Alan Shearman
