I've gotta chime in as NOT a fan of this episode in parts. Run me out of town on a rail, but the Mother Love character (voiced flatly by Vinette Carroll) kept grating on my nerves. Her voice didn't seem mysterious, it sounded colorless. Her tone, her pauses/timing, it was all just "off"--it sounded like it was recorded with her reading the script for the first time. I'm listening to all of the episodes straight through, and this is the worst voice acting I've heard to this point. She should have stuck with directing stage plays.

The episode itself has a fine story with good writing. But part of enjoying a drama--movie, play, radio, whatever the medium--is suspending disbelief enough to be drawn into the story. Mother Love's voice, along with EVERYone in the play mispronouncing "herb," kept startling me out of the story and I just had to tolerate the rest.

That's not saying everyone else reviewing this is "wrong;" it's just interesting how widely different opinions can arise from the same experience.
