Two classic tales from acclaimed Uk science fiction writer John Wyndham. In The Chrysalids, ten-year-old David is definitely a happy, ordinary boy, untroubled aside from occasional strange dreams about a mysterious town – until he befriends Sophie, who is unlike anybody he has met before: she has six feet. But, in the ultra-religious village of Waknut, all abnormality can be abhorred as an offence against God, and he must keep her key to himself. When he discovers that he, as well, is normally ‘deviant’, he about The Chrysalids & Survival realises that variations can be very dangerous indeed… Success, set in the near future, problems the first auto-piloted space flight. When the dispatch meets with an accident, one of the travellers is killed and the others are solid adrift into space. They have enough materials to last for three months – however the only woman up to speed, Alice Morgan, is definitely pregnant, and needs extra rations. Then, food starts to go lacking from your larder. What measures will the passengers go to to be able to survive? Stephen Garlick, Susan Sheridan, John Moffatt and Nicholas Courtney superstar in these two disturbing tales about the darker aspect of human nature. This CD release also includes a detailed sleeve notice recounting the producing of the air adaptations, written by Andrew Pixley.
