A review of the recently broadcast Homage to Catalonia and Burma on radio 4 has been shared on The Stage website. Don't forget that the shows are still available to catch up on iPlayer, while each evening Joseph can read you a bed time story on Radio 4.

Eric Blair, Orwell’s real name, is played by Joseph Millson, who was recently seen as a medic having a breakdown on TV’s Holby City.

Millson merges a clipped accent with the confusion of a young man who abhors casual colonial racism.
