Made the whole 'River' day worth it.
Eerie, thought-provoking, technically brilliant and riveting.

Good to hear a reaction. I got as far as checking up on Google where Stroma was - and the underlying theme sounded very imaginative. Radio drama?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -
Oh yes. Making use of every radio / sound mixing trick you can think of. Radio WAS the drama, actually. Well worth a hearing.Comment

Quite appropriate that (on the recording anyway) it ended abruptly with not even credits at the end! There were about 20 seconds of 'almost silence' which were obviously part of the drama, then … . I suppose it was also appropriate that there was much that was impressionistic, not really explained. The dramatic way to end was how it did - though I half expected it to end with some final comment from the narrator to shift the focus back to the 'present'.Originally posted by DracoM View Post
I found it a bit like an extended Between the Ears, and always fascinating. I agree worth a listen. I won't be more explicit about the … 'plot'.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment
