Last of the Lovely Lenten Ladies
May. 8th, 2012 11:00 pmTHE LAST TWO:
The first is ... I dunno, I was at a meeting at which I wasn't really needed and was having a bad day, what can I say.
The second, however, is a very special occasion, not only because it is THE LAST but because Radio Formerly Known as 7 is rerunning Fatherland. For those who may not have been around the last time the series came up: it's a story set in a 1960s Germany where the Nazis won the war, which starts out as a small murder mystery but grows and grows and becomes something really quite magnificent. While the story and characters are excellent and worth catching all on their own, what makes this especially notable is what a FANTASTIC radio production it is – every time I listen to it (which is often) I am blown away at how well constructed the layers of sound are, and how much information is conveyed very effectively and efficiently by nonverbal cues, whether it's a sound effect, the effect of the space they're supposed to be in, or just playing with something as simple as breathing and timing. It is very much a radio movie, probably the most movie-like radio play you will ever hear.
Anyway the lady in this drawing is 'the American woman journalist,' Charlotte Maguire, who you meet in the second episode. I am quite pleased with how she turned out!
