The writing of James Joyce is as much known for how challenging it is to decipher as for its portraits of humanity in a difficult world. Its hard enough to find audiobooks of his work (could you imagine a single-voiced reading of Ulysses?), and it seems that most audio dramatists have steered clear.
Not so for Chatterbox Audio Theater, who bring us a profoundly moving story of people reflecting on the simple challenges of life. The story, Dead and Gone, is based on James Joyce’s story of The Dead – but the setting, rather than Ireland, is the American South.
I gushed about this inspired retelling in a review a few months ago – now, enjoy the audio.
Ah, but first! A special treat – the Drabblecast audio fiction podcast reveals to us how close Santa Claus came to the edge – and who really saved Christmas.
Fred, it’s always an honor to be on Radio Drama Revival. We’re proud of Dead and Gone, and the whole cast appreciated your kind review. I’m thrilled that you’re featuring the show. Hope your listeners enjoy it!
Marvelous!
