THE CLEANSED, SEASON 2 A Postapocalyptic Adventure of Our Times

Season 2 of this audio drama wraps up the story of John Prophet, who leads a group of survivalists to confront the tyrannical regime that controls the new world order. A full cast and sound effects (derived from on-location recordings throughout southern Maine) set this production apart from other serial dramas. The natural settings and sound effects provide a realistic aural experience that helps listeners conceptualize the story. The music supports the mood and scene transitions throughout the performance. While strong monologues keep the listener emotionally connected to the characters, the dialogue is stilted at times. However, the cinematic qualities of the production compensate for any deficiencies, making this enjoyable listening. K.C.R. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2014]
