Animal Farm [Dramatised]
Summary
"All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others."
Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges....
Tamsin Greig, Nicky Henson, and Toby Jones star in this new drama, part of BBC Radio 4's The Real George Orwell season - a Radio 4 journey that explores the disjuncture between the man who was Eric Blair and the writer who was George Orwell.

The Haze
Summary
During a CIA operation in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Agent Hector Kane finds his career and marriage at stake when he receives a call from a Saudi prince who claims that Hector’s wife is a Chinese spy. Life has never been the same since Hector Kane was tossed out of the Company two years ago. His marriage to the smart and beautiful Yubi is falling apart after the death of their son. His teaching career at the American Institute of Middle Eastern Studies in Cairo has not fulfilled him as he thought it would. His heart and mind are still in the trade. So when the CIA offers him a chance to redeem himself, Hector doesn’t hesitate. It’s a “one-man job,” as the Cairo chief puts it; if successful, Hector is set up to become the next deputy chief of the CIA’s Cairo station. Hector will take his wife and five students to a remote island in the South China Sea. No questions, Hector; you’ll be briefed in Asia. But in Asia, things get weirder by the day. First, Hector questions the nature of his mission when the CIA instructs him to infect one of his students with a deadly virus. Second, Hector receives a call from the Saudi Prince Mohamed bin Hakam, who claims that Hector’s wife is a Chinese spy who has seduced and abducted his son. Unable to tell the CIA, Hector must act alone. He has to contact the Chinese intelligence, locate the prince’s son, and relearn everything he thought he knew about his marriage, his mission, and himself.
