This summer BBC Radio will air “Dark Side,” a new radio drama by Tom Stoppard (pictured) inspired by Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
Scheduled to air in August, the production will star Bill Nighy (“Love Actually”) and Rufus Sewell (“Dark City”).
The network describes the production as “a fantastical and psychedelic story based on themes from the seminal album.”
Stoppard is a noted playwright and screenwriter whose first major success was “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” in 1966. He also wrote “Shakespeare in Love,” “Arcadia” and “The Real Thing.” His play “Rock ‘n Roll” drew inspiration from the life of Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett.

EMI is looking to “turn the moon dark” to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
The record label is asking fans to listen to the album beginning at 12 midnight GMT on March 24 and to tweet their thoughts, memories and photos using hashtag #DarkSide40.
Though the record’s official release date is often misreported, according to EMI it was released in the U.K. March 24, 1973, making this Sunday its 40th anniversary.
Leading up to the anniversary, the official website of the band has been posting reimaginings of the album’s iconic sleeve design, by long-time Floyd designer Storm Thorgerson.
