    Beethoven Can Hear You (Drama on 3)

    Beethoven Can Hear You
    Drama on 3, 20 September 2020, 1930

    By Timothy X Atack

    Peter Capaldi stars as Ludwig van Beethoven, in an immersive drama marking 250 years since the composer’s birth.

    Beethoven is visited by a deaf traveller from another time. The Visitor (Sophie Stone) is shocked to discover that Beethoven can hear; it seems that in this reality the composer never lost his hearing. Beethoven is haunted by the idea his ears could fail him. But the Visitor must make him understand his importance as history’s first deaf composer.

    An immersive exploration of Beethoven and his music from writer Timothy X Atack (Forest 404) and with an original score from deaf composer Lloyd Coleman.

    From the trail, it sounds as though Peter Capaldi might be importing just a little of Malcolm Tucker into his performance....

      Seems like a pretty pointless proposition for a plot based on something that never happened to actual historical people. But there we go...

        I wish they wouldn't portray Beethoven as some cantankerous old bullhead shouting obscenities at people.
        I found it all a bit maudlin.

            Caught a few snippets, including the end. I was not tempted to return via Sounds.

                    Thank you and forgive my inattention, for some reason I read the title and did not think that this is the link.
