I, Claudius (Dramatization)

I, Claudius (Dramatization)

Harry Child

This is a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Robert Graves' brilliant account of the madness and debauchery of ancient Rome - one of the most gripping historical novels ever written. The wickedly entertaining inside story of the lives and deaths of the Imperial dynasty from Augustus to Caligula, is told by their obscure relation, Claudius. In public, Claudius is a stammering, drooling weakling, whose reputation as an idiot keeps him safe from office and assassination. But in private, he's as sharp as they come, and keeps a secret history of everything he discovers. Until one day, as one of the few of his family left alive, he's acclaimed Emperor against his will. Can he save Rome from the corruption he's grown to detest?

1/6 Augustus
History of the Roman Imperial dynasty. Young Claudius grows up in a turbulent household.

2/6 Tiberius
Discovering his grandmother Livia's true ambition, Claudius and his brother face danger.

3/6 Sejanus
Tiberius finds his commander of the guard an invaluable aide against treason.

4/6 Caligula
The new and popular emperor Caligula has some surprises for his uncle Claudius.

5/6 Claudius
How the Sibyl's prophecy came true, for the most unwilling emperor of them all.

6/6 Messalina
Claudius works to restore the republic, but his beautiful wife Messalina has other plans.
