Matthew Beard and Sophie Rundle celebrity in a brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the bestselling novel by Neil Gaiman, narrated by Eleanor Bron.

Challenged to retrieve a dropped star, Tristran Thorn leaves the sleepy English village of Wall and crosses into the land of Faerie as well as the realm of Stormhold. Seeking the celebrity, he discovers it really is no meteorite, but a woman, Yvaine.

When Yvaine evades him and escapes, Tristran discovers he is not the only one in search of the celebrity: you will find dark forces within this magical land, and he must find Yvaine just before she falls to their handbags. As he does so, Tristran will uncover the trick to his personal identity and a destiny beyond his wildest dreams.

Aimed by Dirk Maggs and Heather Larmour, and featuring over 35 minutes of unbroadcast material, this stunning new dramatisation features a thorough cast including Frances Barber, Maggie Steed, Nicholas Boulton, Blake Ritson, Bryan Dick, Charlotte Riley, Aisling Loftus, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Alex Macqueen. There are also cameo appearances by Tori Amos and Neil Gaiman. Duration: 2 hours 30 mins approx.
