Shiro

This is one of the best radio play programs to introduce to newbies. Of the three different programs containing the same material (with Tour Of The City, A (Part 1) and Nightride), this is the the most humorous and upbeat. Absent is much of the husband and wife dialog, and the structured narrative that is apparent in A Tour of the City. Instead we've treated to a series of scenes which seem to be connected only by a common tone. Although some beautiful acting has been removed, I prefer this tighter edit.
