A full-cast audiobook project that I was honored to participate in has just been released. War Brides: A Play in One Act by Marion Craig Wentworth, produced by talented folks at The Online Stage, is now available to stream or download for free. The 47-minute production explores the impact of war on the citizens of an unnamed country.
With excellent narration and editing by Erin Grassie, and supported by a full cast of talented voice actors, this audiobook is a well-produced, powerful portrayal with a sobering conclusion. Published in 1915, the play addresses the "emotional and social implications of war on women, particularly focusing on the concept of 'war brides,' women who marry soldiers as an act of patriotism," according to Project Gutenberg. I was invited to play the role of Arno, a young man caught up in the fervor of the war.
