Dame Hilda Bracket stars as Aunt Augusta with Charles Kay as Henry in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Graham Greene's wickedly funny comic odyssey. Henry Pulling's life since his retirement from the bank has been spent in the tranquil cultivation of dahlias, with no more excitement than the local carol service or the occasional chat with the Major next door. But when he meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time in fifty years at his mother's funeral, his quiet existence is at an end.Persuaded by the wily Augusta to take a trip with her to Paris, the thoroughly conventional Henry is plunged into adventures beyond his wildest dreams. And although his aunt's antics shock Henry to his suburban core, he begins to realize that for the first time he is starting to come alive.
