THE RUNNER

Set in the months after Germany's surrender in WWII, this story is built around a war criminal whose skill is to impersonate any soldier of opposing nationalities. He's on the run and hunted throughout occupied German territory. This landscape provides a cast of multinational characters with an ever-changing array of accents. George Guidall's performance brings to life the aftermath of war and the strange bedfellows it produces. Guidall makes this tale, with its variety of dialects, shine through a plot thick in suspense and intrigue. S.B.P. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 01]
