10. The Little Man

from Nazis: The Road to Power · host BBC Radio 4

On the first sitting of the new Reichstag, the 107 Nazi Members of Parliament deliberately create chaos. But with the Nazis now the second largest group in Parliament, foreign newspapers have to start taking Hitler seriously – even if he can be hard to pin down. Rarely rising before 11am, and not often in his office, he’s more usually to be found in a nearby café, cramming his face with cream cakes. One way or another, Dorothy must land an interview with him.Starring Laura Donnelly as Dorothy Thompson, Alexander Vlahos as Joseph Goebbels, Tom Mothersdale as Adolf Hitler and Corey Johnson as Putzi Hanfstaengl.Cast: Dorothy Thompson - LAURA DONNELLY Adolf Hitler - TOM MOTHERSDALE Gregor Strasser - JOSEPH ALESSI Heinrich Himmler - OSCAR BATTERHAM Sefton Delmer - ADITOMIWA EDUN Putzi Hanfastaengl - COREY JOHNSON Herman Göring - SCOTT KARIM Rudolf Hess - GEORGE KEMP Sinclair Lewis - FORBES MASSON Joseph Goebbels - ALEXANDER VLAHOS Other parts were played by: EDWARD BENNETT, WILLIAM CHUBB, MELODY GROVE, SORCHA KENNEDY, JACK LASKEY, MICHAEL MALONEY, LYNNE MILLER and ANDREW WOODALL The Narrator is JULIET STEVENSONSound designer – ADAM WOODHAMS Studio Manager – MARK SMITH Casting Director – GINNY SCHILLER Original Score – METAPHOR MUSIC Writer and Director – JONATHAN MYERSON Producer – NICHOLAS NEWTONA Promenade Production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
