LOOSE WHEELS AND NARROW NECKS Cart 437 and Other Slightly Dystopian Tales

David Ossman, Brian Price, Jerry Stearns, and other performers recite these droll dystopian poems and short stories in front of a live audience. Jazz interludes and riffs provide mental and aural resting places and an opportunity to think about each piece. The title piece, "Narrow Necks," is a soliloquy on narrow-necked bottles and jars and the dangers that lurk within vis-à-vis the fall of civilization. "Cart 437," which makes two appearances, is about a loose-wheeled cart that takes its cart wrangler many places in this world and beyond. Dry and dusty voices are perfectly matched to each of the 11 slightly twisted stories. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2018]
