Bafflegab have announced that Alice Lowe, Tom Meeten and Neve McIntosh will be starring in their new audio based on Clive Barker’s The Hellbound Heart.
Lowe (Prevenge, Sightseers) will play Kirsty with Meeten (The Ghoul) as Frank/Rory, and McIntosh (Doctor Who) as Julia. The play also features a cameo by Nicholas Vince, aka the Chatterer in Hellraiser.
Producer Simon Barnard told Sci-Fi Bulletin: “The Hellbound Heart gives us a very different Kirsty to the one in the film – she’s needy, dreamy, a tad stalkerish. We’d worked with Alice a few months ago on Blood on Satan’s Claw and thought she’d be perfect for it (I should add that in real life she’s none of those things!). Tom Meeten was our top choice to play both Rory and his evil brother, Frank – he can do both comedy and, as anyone who’s seen his performance in The Ghoul can attest, grown-up drama. And Neve McIntosh is simply brilliant as the conniving, murderous Julia. She threw herself into the many murder scenes with great gusto!”
The play has been written by Paul Kane, and was recorded in December 2017 for release later in 2018 – keep an eye on the Bafflegab page for more details.
The company’s latest production, Mark Morris’ adaptation of Blood on Satan’s Claw, will be released by Audible on January 16.

I’m REALLY excited for this. Barker’s The Hellbound Heart remains among my favorite works of fiction, ever, and hearing it performed will be pretty damn cool. Pun, as always, intended.
