THE SPIDER AND THE FLY

Davina Porter brings her wonderful delivery to this timeless classic, written in 1829. Her presentation is perfect for both creatures. As the story unwinds, the wily, persuasive spider and the stupid, vain fly come alive as we hear each creature's resolve strengthen or weaken. The story is followed by some clever, funny, and very contemporary remarks regarding life's lessons. Porter uses her modern persona to regale us with these pithy bits of irony. S.G.B.
