What a tangled web!

This was a masterpiece in my humble opinion. The narrators (actors here) were all expressive, clear and consistent to their characters. The plot was so intricate and unraveled quite interestingly. I found my heart beating fast at certain parts..thank you to the sound and mixing team, and everyone attached to this productionI absolutely cannot wait to hear it again!

Strong characters

I love the strength and commitment to truth of the main character. Even though it was only a couple of hours long, you were still able to get to know their personalities and their life stories. Loved it!

Excellent story

I like that the story was short and to the point, without a drawn out suspenseful in ending. It wasn’t predictable and kept me engaged during the entire read. Great job by the exceptional cast also.
