The Barren Author: Series 1 - Episode 3: Nothing is Heavy to Those Who Have Wings

Written by Paul Birch and Barnaby Eaton-James

Narrated by Richard O'Brien

Inspired by the stories of Baron Munchausen by Rudolf Erich Raspe our tales are not a literal adaptation but instead take the satirical, provocative and absurd spirit of the original tales and re imagines them for 2020.
These fantastical stories are perfectly suited to an immersive audio experience which has, at its heart, the powerful, witty and commanding storytelling of its central character.

But don`t get too comfortable.
Something dark always lies just underneath the comedy.
Something desperate to get out…
Episode 3
The Brigadier escapes from peril in an ancient Russian forest with the help of an obliging bison. Eurasian mobsters, intent on human sacrifice using the world’s oldest tree, are in pursuit. As his enemies ride after him full-throttle, and with guns blazing, he relays a dizzying array of stories focused on astounding encounters with the animal kingdom. These unlikely anecdotes result in the firm conclusion that the Brigadier’s luck is finally about to run out.
