God's Promises - Act Six

Mark Holtom reading for Esaias...
It's been a long time since I recorded this act, covering the prophet Esaias - as Bale writes it.  This is Act Six of Seven, this prophet being the forerunner to the forerunner John the Baptist, who I've posted previously.
These recordings are very basic, they've been produced largely on the hoof, but they are I hope moderately clear.  Whilst I'm going to get a move on an record the remaining five acts this year, they won't deviate from this template - narration, text.  It's beyond my budget to have a score at this time, and that does limit the effect the words have.  This isn't, as I'd first assumed, the easiest of plays to translate to audio - without music or a visual set of cues, it is quite difficult to keep focus.  But one day I may get around to a more detailed production.
As I say, I hope to have this piece completed over the next few months - I might then create a shorter and more accessible version, to go with this no-frills approach.  Who says we can't be playful?
