THE FRENCH HONEYMOON

Versatile performances by Amanda Troop and A.W. Miller heighten the drama in this Parisian getaway. When Taylor Quinn checks into a Paris hotel alone for her honeymoon, she busies herself by observing newlyweds Cassie Quinn and Olivier, a Frenchman who is desperate for an American visa. Troop brings depth to her portrayals of the conflict-averse Taylor and the manipulative Cassie. She contrasts Taylor's quiet seriousness with Cassie's perky drawl and humorous mispronunciations of French words. Miller voices Olivier in a smooth French accent and skillfully switches in and out of Cassie's American accent. Both narrators create dynamic interactions between the characters that make for a taut listening experience that puts a new spin on honeymoons in Paris.
