Podcast as theatrical experience
Who knew a manipulative, pathological relationship could be so much fun? “Night Games” eavesdrops on a late-night encounter between Jack and Jimmy, as it escalates from flirtatious banter to tug-of-war as each tries to bend the other to his will. Michael Maloney shines as Jimmy, injecting his performance with equal parts menace and childlike neediness. But the real star here is Warner’s mastery of the form, honed by his experience writing radio plays. Dialogue, music and effects come together into a hypnotic blend with the raw feel of stream-of-consciousness. For fans of Brechtian psychodrama, or just those looking for a distinctly unique podcast experience, “Night Games” is a must-listen.
