Big Finish have announced<\/a> that this September the company will release a full-cast audio version of author Simon Clark’s follow-up to John Wyndham classic post-apocalyptic tale of ‘killer plants gone wild in a world gone blind’ The Day of the Triffids<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While The Day of the Triffids<\/em> has been adapted for radio several times since the novel was first published in 1951, this will be the first time that The Night of the Triffids<\/em> has secured the audio treatment. Big Finish stress that this new audio version is “fully approved by the John Wyndham estate”.<\/p>\n

Clark’s official sequel The Night of the Triffids<\/em>, first published in 2001, has been adapted for audio by the author. An interview with writer\/scriptwriter Simon Clark will be published on this site shortly.<\/p>\n

Directed by John Ainsworth, the cast of The Night of the Triffids<\/em> includes Sam Troughton (David Masen), Nicola Bryant (Kerris\/Marni\/Rowena), Paul Clayton (Bill Masen \/ General Fielding), Geff Francis (Gabriel), John Schwab (Sam Dynes), Becky Wright (Kristina), Toby Longworth (Captain Sharpstone), Nigel Carrington (Seymour), Helen Goldwyn (Jazmay). <\/p>\n

On the Isle of Wight, a colony of survivors wakes to a world plunged into darkness. Before long, the triffids, thought safely out of the way on the mainland, attack… In John Wyndham’s classic bestseller The Day of the Triffids<\/em> the world has been overwhelmed by killer plants. As the novel ends, Wyndham’s narrator scientist Bill Masen is escaping, with his wife and four-year-old son, to the Isle of Wight where a small colony of survivors is holding out. Simon Clark’s sequel picks up the story twenty-five years on.<\/p>\n

The survivors are safe, for the time being at least, on their island, where they have continued efforts to combat the triffids, while also striving in various ways to build a new civilization. Elsewhere in the world, similar colonies cling to survival, while the triffids persist in their attempts to destroy humanity.<\/p>\n

One morning Bill Masen’s son, David, now grown up, wakes to a world plunged into darkness. Now, the triffids have an advantage over humanity<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
