Enjoyable

Although this seemed a little dated I really enjoyed this drama. It was recorded in front of a live audience and felt like I was listening to a stage play, but that didn't detract from the tension I felt from a great story. With an iconic cast from the Hollywood movie world this is well worth a listen.
