All's well that ends well...sort of


(3 stars)

The play is well acted, but audio snow interferes, at times, with hearing the performance. Still worth a listen.

recording is fuzzy


(2 stars)

you can hear part 1 just fine, but part 2 and 3 sound like the recording was done over a terribly fuzzy signal. can't hear anything at times.
