The Cricket On The Hearth. Audio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Tony Marshall, Bronté Barbé, Graham Fellows, Geoff Leesley, Jason Forbes, Katie Moore.

The Cricket On The Hearth may not be considered by many in today’s world as being a tale of dramatic substance, especially when set alongside the more weightier themes discussed and revealed in Charles Dickens’ major works, but for one of the sheer all time greats of English literature, one of the few to have an entire genre named after him, the short novella perhaps rings more true of the human need for the unexplained to hold significance than that which came before in the 1843 story, A Christmas Carol.

Eventually the path that should have been taken will reveal itself once more, another chance, another shot of redemption, for Destiny in the hands of the deserving is seldom a one-off affair, for the responsibility of the name is what providence and fate hold dear, a tethered connection, substantial, unreserved, unbound by the road less travelled; for a hero and a good person will always find the right path in the end.
