Father Gilbert Mysteries, Vol. 4: The Silver Cord/In Memorium (Radio Theatre)
Focus on the Family Radio Theatre is a sure thing if listeners are looking for clean, high-quality entertainment. This fourth installment in the Father Gilbert Mysteries series is no exception. Both hour-long, original programs feature Father Louis Gilbert, priest and former detective, as he is forced to delve into his family's past upon the illness and death of his mother. While the dramas can be listened to independently, each is written to be heard in order. Focus also designates these programs for ages 15 and up. Listeners will find more than a one-dimensional performance here. Each drama features a cast of professional actors (including Adrian Plass as Father Gilbert) with accompanying sound effects and music, all combining to create a high-quality piece.
