The audio adaptation of Presence, The Play was released on 12/28/2021 from Blackstone on Audible and I voice three characters, including a Mockingbird.
It was written by William E. Jefferson and produced at Radio Waves Studios in NYC. Here’s the summary from Amazon: Presence, the Play offers a penetrating perspective on the vital role personal presence plays in the essence of life. This timely, captivating novel speaks to a growing hunger for a way of life that’s real and tangible, the opposite of an artificial existence lived in a realm of mediated connectivity.
The protagonist of Presence, the Play is a playwright and monk named Script who lives on the Isle of Estillyen. On the opening night of Presence, Script’s long-awaited play, he suffers a devastating fall in the theatre balcony and lapses into a prolonged coma. The novel plays out in Script’s comatose state.
Presence, the Play offers a meticulously crafted storyline evoking the imaginative prose of J. R. R. Tolkien, the spirited perception of C. S. Lewis, and the dramatic flair of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Readers will join Script on an epic mission to save the Isle of Estillyen from the forces of darkness, experiencing many daunting adventures along the way.
It was a two-parter! Clayton Howe is a delicious interviewer and we got right to the heart of it in his podcast EntertainmentX The Episodes are titled “Doug Shapiro: Shine Your Light” and here are the links for Episode 1 and Episode 2. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the interview.
