In this comic drama, Alistair McGowan stars as Baron Munchausen and all the other 43 characters, bringing the legendary Lord of Lies' exploits right up to date. Characters from history and fiction collide in a drama featuring radio's largest cast of characters but smallest acting company of the year.

The original stories, The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen, were the inventions of thief, swindler, and satirist Rudolph Raspe, inspired by the notoriously tall tales of the real Baron Munchausen. This production explores the themes of truth, lies, and credibility in a modern context.

As the 231-year-old Munchausen claims to be arrested on a red carpet at the Cannes film festival, a tired detective interviews him. Is he truly the Baron, or is he lying? This masterclass in deception raises questions about the nature of truth in today's world of social networking and media.
