The Great Impersonation
Lady Dominey
by
The Great Impersonation is a radio adaptation of E. Phillips Oppenheim’s espionage thriller, centered on Sir Everard Dominey and the dangerous resemblance between him and a German agent. The story turns on identity, deception, and the threat of a secret mission unfolding in the years before the First World War.
Presented as a dramatic radio story, it uses dialogue and performance to bring its intrigue to life. The title “Lady Dominey” points toward the personal relationships at the heart of the suspense, where trust and appearances can be as consequential as political loyalties.
Listeners can expect a period adventure shaped by mystery and international intrigue, with a tense, theatrical tone. Its appeal lies in the unsettling question of who can be trusted when one man may convincingly take another’s place.
