There is a simplicity to the production of this piece that stopped me in my tracks. I knew what was going to happen based on the info given in the show page (which sometimes, I'm thinking, is not a great idea to give it all away). The widow's voice is so real and raw - that alone would have made the point about the cost of war. But following the awful and almost unbelievable event of the widow's death, this young producer, seeking sense of the wrongs in life, draws some painful parallels that leave the listener thougthful and disturbed. It is the unencumbered youthfulness of his sight that underscores the cruelness that is strewn along our way. Eloquent work.

Significant to air during war, after war, before war.
