I rate this episode ★★★★★ for EXCELLENT. This Fantasy-Mystery, written by George Lowthar, could put listeners into deep-thinking mode and feel pensive afterwards. Great surprising ending. The sound effects of the mystic sounds of the forest, footsteps, vines, sounds of mud, birds chirping, jungle animals, dragging of the body, monstrous birds squawking, treadmill, the whipping, glassware clinking, champagne bottle popping, and the gun fire were helpful. The music also, with its dainty tunes & dark melodies that switched back and forth in every Act. In our Host’s Prologue, E.G. Marshall starts off with discussing the 3 layers of the human brain: the conscious, the sub-conscious, and the unconscious. In ACT-1, he says that some people believe that death is the end us, others thinks it’s a rebirth; that philosophical notion is what our 2 main characters have to discover and what realms are they really in. In ACT-2, he asks which character gets the Garden of Life and the Garden of Death. In ACT-3, he questions if Life, with its troublesome decisions, would be better if there were no options/decisions. In the end, after realizing which side was the REAL Garden of Death, E.G. Marshall said he never thought that Death in this story could be (SPOILER ALERT) a beautiful woman. In his Epilogue, he finishes his narration by saying, “Life is in itself a Death we go through, to find the reality of Life.â€ He could’ve also stated that Death is like Love: it comes in many forms. But still, a great sentence to finish this mystery tale. And finally, our superb cast: Jennifer Harmon (as Vicki Carson), Jack Grimes (as Jack Gibbons), Nancy Coleman (as Drusilla), and Joe Silver (as Mordred). I say, “Superbâ€ because Joe Silver’s voice was superb for the role of a giant, Nancy Coleman was superb as a dainty Grim Reaper, and Jack Grimes & Jennifer Harmon superbly stole the show. A great episode to listen to in the season of Spring. SPECIAL BONUS: this episode has Commercials of the Buick Apollo, Shop Rite Supermarket, Jean Shepherd, Budweiser, Suburban Savings, IN-Conversation Radio Program, the mid-size Buick Century Regal, Commander Putney, “Rambling with John Gamblingâ€ on WOR radio, Mary Helen McPhillips, and CBS News reports including Richard Nixon & the Watergate Scandal. Until next time…pleasant dreams. =^D
