Do3 - Things Might Change or Cease

[Guest]

"Give me 90 minutes of your life, and I'll show you how magic works" explains Tom, the dead son of a long-absent father of three estranged daughters, in the prologue. What follows is a story how Maggie, amidst the fractured relationships with her sisters, unravels the history of her father's disappearance and tracks him down.

Illusion plays a central role in the narrative, but at last we have a radio drama that explores the medium, the voices weaving in and out. It's a very atmospheric production, well worth a close listen:

P.S. The music is Max Richter's Infra 5.

Thank you for alerting me to this production, Russ. I thought it was a very imaginative work, as you say using the medium effectively, and with the interaction between the illusory and the real well plotted. The performances were good (especially 'Charlie') and the music and other sound effects well used. I would have liked to listen again but I have been away for a bit and only just caught this on LA.
