RANGE OF MOTION

Lainey struggles to cope with daily life: taking care of her two daughters and holding on to her belief that her husband who is in a coma after a freak accident will recover. This rich and emotionally true production explores Lainey's efforts to bring her husband back through touch, smell and conversation. Megan Gallagher's narration is flawless; conveying all the ranges of emotion that Lainey experiences, she draws the listener into Lainey's life. Her semi-voiced narration clearly indicates changes in characters, and judicious use of music and echo effects let the listener in on her husband's "thoughts." This audio experience will leave the listener moved and enriched. M.A.M. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 96]
