George Orwell’s "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" tells the story of Gordon Comstock, a struggling poet who rejects the values of money and middle‑class respectability. Set against the backdrop of 1930s London, the drama explores his battle against the “money god” and his refusal to conform to the expectations of society. Gordon’s rebellion leads him into poverty and isolation, straining his relationships and testing his ideals.
This 1988 radio dramatization brings Orwell’s biting social commentary to life with Jonathan Tafler as Gordon and Polly James as Rosemary. The production captures the tension between artistic integrity and financial survival, highlighting Orwell’s critique of materialism and the compromises demanded by modern life. It remains a powerful exploration of love, pride, and the struggle to find meaning beyond money.
