Decline And Fall by Evelyn Waugh

Decline And Fall by Evelyn Waugh

Decline and Fall is the utterly fabulous and gloriously farcical story of Paul Pennyfeather. Sent down from Oxford in outrageous circumstances, Paul finds himself a position as schoolteacher at Llanabba Castle alongside a hilarious cast of oddballs, rascals and criminals - posturing as educators! Then Sports Day arrives, and with it the delectable Margot Beste-Chetwynde. A parent of staggering glamour and truly suspect motives and morals, Margot's arrival sets the scene for comedy and entertainment of the highest order. As the farce unfolds and the bright young things run riot, no one is safe, least of all Paul Pennyfeather. Rik Mayall the narrator is a renowned British actor and comedian. His gift for storytelling, his sheer energy and wonderfully comical characterisations will have you in stitches!

..a corking production. Rik Mayall displays a finely tuned enthusiasm and a range of voices that convey, one imagines, just the effects Waugh was after. * * The Sunday Times * *

Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) was an English writer of biographies, travel books and, most significantly, highly-acclaimed novels such as Brideshead Revisited and Vile Bodies.
