    Are You With Me, Man?

    Long before doctors name it Alzheimer’s, Muriel recognizes the signs—the repeated questions, the misplaced certainty, the subtle fractures forming in the man she married. But the fracture widens the night Harry confesses a secret he doesn’t remember keeping… and doesn’t realize who he’s speaking to. In the quiet aftermath, Muriel begins to understand that memory is not the only thing slipping. •• An original, full-cast audio drama •• • Narrator Muriel: Wendy Greer • Muriel Barrington: Jacqueline Greer (jacquelinevoice.com) • Grainger Stone: Ben Cesare (voiceactor.com/site/bencesarevo) • Harry Barrington: Harry Motley (harrymotleyjr.icanvoice.com) • Doctor 1: Damien Rouse • Doctor 2: Shannin Daniels • Sound Design: Blue Leopard Agency (blueleopardagency.com) Resources & Support If you or a loved one is navigating dementia, please visit the Alzheimer’s Association: https://www.alz.org Disclaimer This Too Was Love is a work of fiction.
