A Parrot in the Underworld
Anything could happen (and probably will) in a magical realist comedy about Trevor, a talking parrot who takes a trip across the Styx. You won't believe your ears.
The disparate worlds of Edward Lear, Virgil and a conspiracy theorist called Angry Mark collide as we cross the Styx to try and rescue the beautiful Imelda, deceased wife of Trevor, the talking parrot. Stick with it. It will all make sense.
Master storyteller and satirist Nick Revell returns to ±«Óãtv Radio 4 with an unexpectedly believable story about a parrot, his ancient book of spells and the search for his long deceased wife. Can his singing bring her back to the lands of the living?
On our travels we hear Fidel Castro tortured by being made to listen to one of his speeches for eight hours - and an owl (ex-husband of a certain pussy cat) sing The Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. It will all make sense. Honestly.
Hold on tight because it's a funny, fast-paced ride through Nick's imagination and out the other side - with original music and sound design by contemporary composer, Paul Clark.
