Writer Colette’s classic works brought to life in a unique audio collection
Listen for the first time to this stunning collection of five of Colette’s most celebrated works, compiled and created by BBC Radio. French author and woman of letters, Colette is best known for her 1944 novella Gigi, which became the stage musical launching the career of Audrey Hepburn. Known for her frank, direct and honest way of writing about women and female friendships, Colette’s stories champion the female perspective and all feature strong women protagonists. Considered immoral and shocking at the time, her works are now cherished as a fresh insight into the female experience of the era and she is celebrated for the sheer quality of her writing. This exclusive collection includes, Gigi, Cheri, Claudine at School, The Vagabond and Sido and features performances from Lindsay Duncan (Sherlock, Starter for 10, Doctor Who), Paul Ritter (Friday Night Dinner), Frances Barber, Brigit Forsyth and Dame Peggy Ashcroft. Also included is a bonus edition of In Our Time, hosted by Melvyn Bragg as he and guests discuss Colette, her life, her works and her significant cultural impact.
In the classic Gigi, we follow the story of a young woman in Paris, who is being groomed by her grandmother for the life of a courtesan. Cheri is a semi-autobiographical story following an enduring love affair between a courtesan and a man half her age. Claudine at School is heavy with erotic over tones, and this full cast dramatisation explores the life of the enchanting Claudine as she navigates her journey to womanhood. The Vagabond tells the story of a divorcée dancer in a Paris music hall, she is pursued by a wealthy admirer. Will she allow herself to fall in love a second time?
Finally, Dame Peggy Ashcroft narrates Sido, based on Colette’s memories of her own mother.

Historia
Au tournant du XXe siècle, on laisse de plus en plus à la jeune fille la liberté de choisir son mari ; une place est faite à ses préférences et plus encore à ses inclinations : on lui permet d'aimer, quitte à contredire les us et coutumes qui mettent l'amour après le mariage - la femme n'attend plus d'être mariée, d'avoir acquis une identité sociale par sa dot, pour éprouver des sentiments. D'où l'insistance de "Gigi" : être aimée comme elle aime ; échapper au conventionnel d'une vie mondaine où elle sera traitée en conquête de l'homme, faire-valoir négligeable de la masculinité qui l'entretient.

Historia
Chéri and its sequel, The End of Chéri, mark Colette’s finest achievements, in their brilliant, subtle, and frank investigations of love and power. Set in the Parisian demimonde in the last days of the Belle Époque, Chéri tells the story of Léa, a courtesan at the end of a successful career, and her lover, the beautiful but emotionally opaque Chéri. Chéri will soon enter into an arranged marriage, ending their six-year affair, which—they will each realize too late—has been the one real love of their lives.

A little disappointed
I love Colette so much, but this drama collection isn't my cup of tea. I guess people have different tastes, you know. I hope Audie England will narrate Colette's books, especially "Cheri", "The Last of Cheri". I like the way she reads in an opening narration of the film "Delta of Venus". That is just my image of Léa. I think the script of "Cheri" is too short. We don't know who the characters are. The original story is written from Léa's memory and the real scenes. I wanted the script to use the content of the original story.
