Shiro

This is a gorgeous, sprawling adventure, with some of the best dialog every captured on tape. After realizing that it's possible to create radio like this, one can only weep to think of the time and tape wasted on hokey comedies and oh George, don't you just adore the daffodils style BBC plays.

I recommend listening to them back to back with a good pair of headphones. There's a lot of stereo structure in the dialog.


Cast

Tim Jerome, Larry Block, Nick Ullett, Arthur Miller, Laura Estermann, and Ryan Cutrona
