Summary: Imagine yourself in a bar, the sort of old fashioned place with dark wood and red leather booths and the ghosts of a million cigarettes. You order another drink. A pretty girl sits down next to you and the evening takes on possibilities.
This is a well crafted short story delivered in first person by a good actor. There's a strong narrative flow and it takes you places - with a subtle touch.
I had a great bus ride home, totally engaged in listening to this piece. It's well written and the reading by Victoria Haas was excellent. The pacing is good, with a great narrative and it keeps the listener engaged.
Public Radio has the chance to bring great radio drama to listeners with LA Theatre Works and now Handwritten Theatre.
Use this as a holiday special or for evening programming. You can play several together to fill an hour or pair with another good storytelling piece.
