Brutal, soul-crushing, surreal, and duplicitous. What else would you expect from a North African Nazi labor camp in the midst of WWII? With a voice that is at once heartless and urbane, the camp commandant, portrayed by English voice talent Simon Templeman, pits two young couples—one Jewish and the other Muslim—into betraying their friendships, their faiths, and everything they hold dear in the hope of survival. Employing shocking situations and absurd humor, the spirited ensemble cast uses contemporary American accents to give the listener the feel that this bizarre 1984-like world isn’t just in the past, but could happen anytime, anywhere. Devastating, thought-provoking listening. B.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
