BBC Radio 2007 - Daphne Du Maurier - The Birds - full-cast drama



Melissa Murray`s dramatisation of Daphne Du Maurier`s classic horror story.



One episode of approx one hour in high quality MP3.



`The Birds` is a short story by Daphne du Maurier in her 1963 short story collection The Birds and Other Stories. It is about a part-time farmhand, Nat Hocken, and his family, his children Jill and Johnny and his wife (name not mentioned in the story, simply known as `the wife`) as a massive number of birds start attacking them and possibly the whole of Europe for no apparent reason. It is set in Britain, probably at the Cornish coast shortly after the end of World War II. It was the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock`s film of the same name.

`The Birds and other Stories`

Published by Penguin Books 1963, this collection of short stories enabled her devoted readership to see her, for the first time, in a very different guise as an exponent of the sinister and macabre.



`The Birds`

The idea for this famous story came to her one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagull s were diving and wheeling. She developed the idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him.



In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food, first the seagulls, then birds of prey and finally even small birds, all turn against mankind.



The nightmarish idea appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film. Daphne disliked the film and particularly disliked the translation of the setting from Cornwall, with its small fields and stone hedges, to small-town America. [from http://www.dumaurier.org/birds.html]
