THREE GIRLS AND THEIR BROTHER

Rebeck's story relates the ups and downs of the lucky Heller sisters, three women who enjoy an uncanny rise to fame after being the focus of a photo shoot for THE NEW YORKER. With a variety of characters, both male and female, popping up throughout the story, the choice of dual narrators makes sense, but only one truly seems enthusiastic. David Drummond delivers a solid, well-rounded performance as the brother, but Cassandra Campbell seems bored with the material. She speaks without the slightest ounce of passion in her voice. Her characters are flat and one-dimensional, and not all that different from one another. Listeners will be hard pressed to enjoy the story with this unbalanced pair of narrators at the helm.
