The Austen Collection

By Jane Austen

David production managed several of the dramas featured in this  new collection from Audible. Recording for these dramas was done mostly remotely!

​

In this Audible Original collection featuring dramatisations of her six beloved novels, Austen's pin-sharp humour and tone is perfectly captured by an all-star list of narrators.

(Claire Foy, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Billie Piper, Florence Pugh and Emma Thompson), each accompanied by a full cast.

"This is a masterpiece." Listener Review

Hell Cats

By Carina Rodney

Directed by Kate Saxon, David was the production manager on this HUGE drama, with 59 actors recorded under strict Covid Guidelines!

​

Lovers. Outlaws. Hell Cats. This Audible Original Podcast tells the lost story of history’s most progressive pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Their tale of cutthroat adventure and an enduring love affair remains largely forgotten – overlooked by historians who prioritised the achievements of their male peers. Until now.

Starring Erin Doherty as Mary Read, Michelle Fox as Anne Bonny, Fisayo Akinade as Pierre Bouspeut and Jonathan Bailey as Captain Jack Rackham.

"Beautifully written and produced. The characters were fascinating, imperfect, and still lovable. Lots of humour to counteract the intense scenes. I cheered, scolded, cackled and blubbered like a baby. A true drama to sweep you up and take you away" Listener Review
