"Decline & Fall" is Evelyn Waugh’s satirical debut novel, adapted in 1992 for radio with Alistair McGowan in the lead role. The story follows Paul Pennyfeather, an unassuming theology student who is expelled from Oxford after a prank and sent into the eccentric world of teaching at a disreputable Welsh boarding school. His misadventures expose the absurdities of British society, from the upper classes to the criminal underworld.
This dramatization captures Waugh’s biting wit and sharp social commentary, highlighting the ridiculous extremes of class, morality, and ambition. McGowan’s performance brings Pennyfeather’s bewildered innocence to life, while the adaptation preserves the novel’s blend of farce and satire. It remains a lively and entertaining exploration of hypocrisy and folly in interwar Britain.
