About this listen

Jonathan Myerson, a celebrated TV and radio dramatist known for his works such as "The Republicans" and "Nuremberg" and "That Was Then," adds another feather to his cap with the series A Harlot’s Progress and its sequel Marriage a la Mode. A Harlot’s Progress, based on William Hogarth's iconic series of paintings, humorously fleshes out the tale of Moll Hackabout, a country girl who meets her downfall in the streets of London.

Series 1 begins one day in 1732, an impoverished portraitist abandons his classical training and sets out to paint the wicked tale of a country girl's downfall on the streets of London. It's a story which will lead him and his imaginary heroine, Moll Hackabout, to very different ends.
