"Jerry Robbins and the Colonial Radio Players bring to life the persecution and betrayals of the Puritans, while still in Europe, that compelled their flight to the New World. [It] is historically correct, and remains both exciting and fun. This audio presentation has a full cast and music score, with lots of sound effects, engaging your attention and imagination."

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

SSSHHHHHH...THEY'LL SEE OUR SMOKE...AND KEEP QUIET
What made the experience of listening to Kentucky the most enjoyable?
Experiencing James Otis's work for the first time, through the excellent dramatization by the Colonial Radio Theater.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Kentucky?
The set up and introduction of all the major players and how their story(s) unfold.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
Actually I paid more attention to the characters and their lines and how these propelled the story along. CRT really knows how to blend detail and action in a single sentence.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Kentucky, price of Freedom.
Any additional comments?
I thought CRT's production of Kentucky was a great listen and I'm looking forward to more in the spirit of America series.

Waste of a credit
Too short a story with amateur casting I feel as if I was robbed of a $15.90 credit.
