Rumpole and the Sleeping Partners | John Mortimer | BBC Radio Drama

Описание: Step back into the smoky courts and razor-sharp wit of Horace Rumpole, in Rumpole and the Sleeping Partners — a classic BBC Radio Drama written by John Mortimer, where law, hypocrisy, and human folly collide.

⚖️ The Story:

When a seemingly routine case lands in Rumpole’s lap, it soon becomes clear that powerful figures would prefer certain truths to remain conveniently asleep. Behind closed doors of respectable partnerships lie greed, betrayal, and carefully buried scandals.

As Rumpole spars with judges, colleagues, and the silent forces of privilege, he uncovers a case where justice is less about evidence — and more about who can afford to look away.

With his trademark cynicism, love of Wordsworth, and fierce loyalty to the presumption of innocence, Rumpole exposes a legal world where the real crime is what everyone agrees not to notice.

🎭 Why Listen:

• A brilliant blend of courtroom drama, satire, and mystery
• Sharp, literate dialogue from John Mortimer at his best
• A case driven by moral irony rather than simple guilt
• Classic BBC Radio performances full of wit and authority
• Perfect for fans of legal dramas, intelligent crime fiction, and British humour

🎧 BBC Radio Drama Experience:

This production captures the unique charm of Rumpole of the Bailey — where courtroom battles are fought with words, not weapons, and justice depends as much on character as on law. Wry, elegant, and quietly subversive.
