So, I’ve been recommended Jonathan Mitchell’s work as some of
the most cutting edge in audio/radio today.
I did find Moon Graffiti to be
quite haunting. It was, in fact, the pilot episode of The Truth (of which I have already listened to a story). It’s a short and interesting play with
authorial intrusion telling us that it is a “what if?”, a dramatization of
Nixon’s 1969 speech written by William Safire which would salve the failure of
the Apollo 11 mission. With two actors
in the near-silence of space using their last 2 hours of life to reflect on the
point of it all, it could have been a portentous piece of work. Instead, it felt spare and poignant.
