PROOF

Proof concerns a deadly accident, fake scotch whisky, murder, horse owners and horse trainers. In this dramatization, originally for BBC radio, the twenty-member cast skillfully enacts the dialogue of the novel complete with music and very realistic and extensive sound effects. Nigel Havers, as Tony Beach, and Jennifer Piercey, as Flora, carry the production with their soothing, even-paced deliveries. The rest of the cast members are well-selected for their roles. The skillful dramatization makes the story easy to follow even without a narrator. A.A.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: NOV 93]
