its the play ,

Man and Superman

Delightful from start to finish. The actors were amazing. I found it compelling. Shaw at his best. I found it sweet and funny. I was thoroughly entertained. Such a challenge to accomplish a radio play, however, I had no trouble visualizing each scene. Congratulations! Job well done.
