Great story - shame about the break in the recording


(5 stars)

The story is fantastic - and this radio drama a great adaptation. I would strongly advise a listen - but...... the recording breaks and swops in a jaring way to another completely different story at 46 minutes before returning about a minute later. This kills the essential "suspension of disbelief" that is so crucial to the enjoyment of all drama. So if there is a better recording available - listeners may appreciate it being uploaded.
