BBC Radio 4 - The King Must Die, Episode 2

Theseus continues his journey into the decadent world of Minoan Crete in Episode 2 of The King Must Die, the Robin Brooks adaptation of Mary Renault’s classic. The narrative places Theseus amid Crete’s glamour and danger, including the bull-dance, as the hero seeks his true identity and the path to the Labyrinth of Knossos. The episode features a full cast, including Shane Zaza as Theseus and Raad Rawi as Poseidon, with the production expanding Renault’s themes of power and fate. The drama was directed for BBC Radio 4, recorded on location in Suffolk with Allegra as the production company.
