Ok story with great narration
The story was ok. Nothing great as a mystery. A major plot detail was left out until the closing chapters. Had even a hint be made earlier on the ending would have been less contrived and hurried. It was one of those ending where you say, “where the heck did that come from?”
But, it was entertaining.
One issue I have with Marston’s work in this series is that he never reveals just what a miserable job it was for the boy players to play women. The costumes were uncomfortable, the make-up poisonous, the conditions dreadful. Even though he explains a lot of what Elizabeth drama was like, any student of Shakespeare knows that the job of an actor was a miserable one.
As for the narration, I would listen the David Thorpe read the telephone directory and enjoy it. His voice characterisations are brilliant. He has a knack for accents and tone. If it weren’t for his brilliant work this recording would have been pretty average.

Dreadful canting ending. Poor dialogue.
Stilted dialogue. Inaccurate use of language. Facile and unlikely solution. Pity. Narrator hadn't much to work with. Did his best with it.
