Clive Barker fans have seen the great imaginer's classic novella The Hellbound Heart adapted for the big screen, but never before has an official audio drama adaptation of the iconic story been told... until now. Featuring an all-star voice cast including Alice Lowe as Kirsty, Tom Meeten as Frank and Rory Cotton, and the Chatterer Cenobite himself, Nicholas Vince, The Hellbound Heart audio drama will be released by Bafflegab Productions on April 27th for those brave enough to listen:
The Hellbound Heart Audio Drama: "When Frank Cotton (Tom Meeten) finally acquires a fabled puzzle box, he gets more than he bargained for. Because the box is a doorway to another world, to Hell and its dubious pleasures, ruled over by the sadistic Cenobites. And Frank’s reward for opening the box is an eternity of pain beyond imagining. But when his brother, Rory, and his wife Julia (Neve McIntosh) move in to the house where Frank conducted the ritual, he sees a means of escape. For Julia was once Frank’s lover and swore to do anything for him... even kill, if it would make Frank whole again. Julia will stop at nothing to bring her lover back from Hell, and only Rory’s friend Kirsty (Alice Lowe) unwittingly stands in their way...Starring Alice Lowe (Prevenge, Sightseers), Tom Meeten (The Ghoul) and Neve McIntosh (Doctor Who), this is a faithful, full-cast adaptation of Clive Barker’s novella (adapted for the screen as the classic horror movie Hellraiser), by Paul Kane (Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell)
