The Leopard in Autumn

Set in the comically insignificant city-state of Monte Guano during the Renaissance, this witty radio series humorously explores the chaotic life of Prince Ludovico II as he deals with a dysfunctional family, political demands, and a host of absurd challenges. Featuring a talented cast and clever writing, the series offers a satirical look at power, family, and political rivalry in a fictional Italian principality. First aired on BBC Radio 4, it combines historical parody with sharp comedy, appealing to fans of humorous skewering of historical and political absurdity.
