THE GAMESHOUSE

Peter Kenny narrates Claire North's mind-blowing, genre-defying audio trilogy. In the first story, the characters are from almost every country because the setting is the mystical Gameshouse, which can appear practically anywhere in the world. Kenny must switch between voices as the players play life-or-death versions of childhood games. One game of hide-and-seek takes place in Thailand with a Frenchman as the main storyteller. The second story is set in Venice in the 1800s, and the main character is a woman. In the final story, a game of chess is played with real people, all around the world. As Kenny disappears into his narration, the characters spring to life and capture the imagination of the listener. A.R.F. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2019]
