I can't completely explain my logic; for some reason I thoroughly enjoyed this program and I gave it a solid 4/5. If I have a knock, it's that this program was a bit predictable. However, I was intrigued by the topic and somewhat suprised that the theme of 'hate', such base human emotion, was the centerpiece of a CBSRMT program. I didn't sympothize with any of the characters but I thought they were well developed and the author was true to his topic. Perhaps I enjoyed the program because I've met a few people like Harold Buckhalter, obnoxious yet gregarious, and it was interesting to hear how George Wallaby, a steady but less dynamic man, dealt with his disgust of this Harold.

Interestingly, I thought Tammy Grimes was excellent. I haven't listened to a great number of programs where she assumed the role we associate with E.G. Marshall but I thought she did an admirable job. I made a special note that she interacted and narrated within Act II, as opposed to the more familiar style of speaking only at the beginning or conclusion of an Act, and I thought this was technique was very effective in providing texture to the play.
