EXIT

This darkly humorous mystery is expertly narrated by Rupert Degas. What seems to be an ominous story of suicide and murder turns into a lovely romp through England with Felix, an older man with a somber and thoughtful personality. In the panic of a monumental mistake, Felix--remembering his dog's behavior at having done something wrong--flees the scene of the crime. Thus begins this comedy of errors. Degas portrays the cast of characters with zeal. Everyone's traits are distinctively portrayed--whether it is a dying man gasping for breath, a nervous young woman, or a man resigned to his lot. Listeners will appreciate Degas's crisp enunciation and deft ability to animate these states of being into the lives that fill this story. S.K.G.
