Review by CHRISTOPHER MCKENZIE

IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot certify this reviewer attended a performances of this show because no ticket was purchased through this website or the producer has not verified they attended.

My overall impression

A high-concept play presented as a radio drama. As a fan of OTR (old-time-radio), I often go to sleep listening to shows like X-Minus-1 and The Shadow. I made amateur radio shows back in my college days too.

I tried closing my eyes throughout the production and had that successful radio experience. I also like that the narrative visited common themes of the era and dealt with it in the terms of the era. The contextualization of the experience was really well done.

The only complaint is that the various voices of the announcer could be hard to make out sometimes … the annunciation was a bit off. Other than that, it was great.
