About this listen

Monster king, monster king, where are you?
Your house is burning down.
Monster king, monster king, won't you play?
The Red Swan wants your crown.

The charismatic Great Harlequin, Duruthiel, leads his troupe on a daring raid of an ork settlement. Urging them forth with bold eccentricity, the Red Swan proclaims fate as the guiding hand for the Masque of the Fading Dawn. But as Skyweaver jetbikes invade the night skies, his attempts to overthrow the great warlord become increasingly reckless. It soon becomes apparent that this is more than just another performance for Duruthiel but a battle for honour and freedom.

An average short story held together by the performance. The story just lacked what seemed like a point so a struggled with it.

The performance is excellent and did make me laugh at times.

I was wondering if a dramatisation of a story was something for me, I quickly changed my mind after hearing the actors involved.

A lot better than I could ever imagine!

Pleasantly surprised!

A short story well told, lacked a little depth maybe but you can only do so much with just over an hour. Passed the time nicely on the way home from work would recommend.

Too short
