Colin MacDonald’s audio drama-documentary series is Pick of the Week in The Sunday Times and Radio Times.
“Jack Lowden is a proud Scot, well placed to narrate this weighty new five-part drama documentary series on the rise and fall of Bonnie Prince Charlie, leader of the 1745 Jacobite rising that intended to restore the Catholic Stuarts to the throne of Great Britain. A cast of historians adds commentary to Colin MacDonald’s crisp script, while Lorn Macdonald brings the Young Pretender, likened to a 1970s rock god, to life in the dramatic scenes studded through the documentary.” – Fiona Hughes, Radio Times
Pretender Prince begins on BBC R4 on Friday at 2:15pm.
