Of A Night. Radio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Neil Caple, Sue Jenkins, Izzy Campbell, Jason Done, Emily Pithon, Paul Duckworth.

Our personal problems take precedence over that which we understand are important to other people, it is who we are as a species. During panic, in the most extreme moments of what our minds can cope with as desperation and hopelessness threaten to overwhelm us, our struggles will be seen as more important than that suffered by a neighbour, a friend, or even a nation.

The command of storytelling is one of humanities finest achievements, the insisting of developing the imagination enough to unleash a truth the individual, the ability to change someone’s mind with a single word, or to frame a narrative that has the ability to make someone get in touch with their emotions, to feel compassion where once stood silence and perhaps apathy.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Michelle Buttery, Neil Caple, Ciaran Kellgren, Tricia Kelly, Emma Lisl, Joe McGann, Eileen O’ Brien, Alan Stocks.

The power of memory is one that can either hold you back so hard that it feels as if the weight of the future is too difficult to deal with, or can be such an aid in which it can only set you free. What if the place in which those memories are of also retains those memories, the very bricks and mortar that keep you safe from the outside world are able to hold onto an image of a time perhaps best forgotten?

Heavily surrounded by a cast that adds that final burst of brilliance that makes The Misanthrope a play a distinguished and tremendous addition to the canon of Moliere plays to now have been performed on the stage in the city.
