COMMENTARY
Reviews for Alcazar AudioWorks' production of Wolves Among the Ruins: The Prince Dethroned
A story of future history looks at the present-day inner workings of the Catholic Church. Most of the story takes place at the Vatican with the selection of a pope. The influences of liberalism attack the church from the outside, but the real danger, according to West, is the threat from the inside subversives. The spellbinder of this production is the narration of David Thorn. His voice, often sinister, keeps the listener alert from the start.Thorn has the ability to deliver several accents, project different age ranges, and vary intensity, causing one to wonder if more than one person is performing. His masterful performance breathes life into what might otherwise be a lesser book. N.L. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 08]
