1Man On The Other Side

By Ada Barnett

Ruth never expected to have a house of her own. Raised in an orphanage, she is forced to work for her living. She chooses to work in a book store, until the Great War. She serves in France and then marries. But what would she do with power? Would she be contented to settle down as a happy country wife? How would her husband take their very different backgrounds? - Summary by Stav Nisser

The hypocrisy of the hyper-respectable social façade maintained by the Torrens family is in for an overdue disruption when they receive a visit from the rakish Captain Murphy Maguire. - Summary by Kelly Taylor <BR><BR>Cast List <BR><BR> Mr. Charles Torrens <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13577"> Adrian Stephens </a><br> Captain Murphy Maguire <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789"> Tomas Peter</a><br> Mr. Amindab Sleek <a> Alan Mapstone </a><br> Frank Vincent <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8011"> Greg Giordano </a><br> Servant <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/105242"> David Purdy </a><br><BR> Lady Sowerby Creamerly <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/15373"> Wendy Katz Hiller</a><br> Mrs. Charles Torrens <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13717"> Matea Bracic</a><br> Miss Emma Torrens <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18447"> karmaemmings </a><br> Mrs. Ormsby Delmaine <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13852">Kelly S.

3Christmas Carol: The Miser's Warning

By Charles Zachary Barnett

This theatrical version of A Christmas Carol was performed at the Surrey Theatre in February 1844 just weeks after the publication of the novella by Dickens in December of the previous year. (There were 7 other adaptations also being shown on stage then, with only 1 version - not this one - being sanctioned by Dickens.) - Summary by ToddHW <BR><BR>Cast list:<BR> Ebenezer Scrooge, the Miser: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8011">Greg Giordano</a><br> Frank Freeheart, his Nephew: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/18543">Agnes Robert Behr</a><br> Mr. Cheerly: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16205">James R.
