Asmr with the classics

Juana Castile's slow fall into madness during her early marriage

A BBC Radio drama written by noted author Michael Hardwick (most famous for writing books and radio plays featuring Sherlock Holmes).

It is 19th Century England. Arthur Clawson and Grace Aldridge have been living together as man and wife quite happily. However, Arthur is still legally married to a wife he neither loves nor is rich enough to obtain a divorce from (requiring an Act of Parliament under the current laws of England). But things change when Arthur's wife is found dead ... and he is arrested and charged with her murder.

Sir Evelyn Hampton is a highly distinguished judge. He is nearly eighty years old and views his coming retirement as the laying down of responsibility. To his son Andrew, a journalist, his father's retirement seems like the laying down of a divine power.

Now Sir Evelyn must sit in judgement on one final case: The Clawson case. However, this case may prove a heavier lesson about and burden of responsibility than anyone could possibly imagine ...
