BBC to air Floyd-inspired radio drama
Posted March 30, 2013 by Floydian Slip
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.
