A perfect topic for summer listening - though might be best served at night. For this three-ring affair has a dark, contemplative take on life under the big top. A sometimes painful trapeze act, a seductive lion-tamer and a bittersweet return to the dream of running away with the circus - this last piece being the star attraction - make for high-quality intelligent adult entertainment. The opening comments and musical breaks are as unique and interesting as the stories themselves.
Programmers might take note: a feature about the circus I made a number of years ago got more positive listener feedback than anything I've done - before or since. It seems to be a subject which touches our imagination and childhood memories unlike any other. Highly recommended!
