Loopholes -- gregarious kights, talking birds, wisecracking gods (The Gray Area)





GREGARIOUS KNIGHTS, WISECRACKING GODS, TALKING BIRDS, AND GIANT RATS!

Episode Four of The Gray Area, an audio drama told in interconnected stories that you can listen to for free, has just been released. This comic fantasy epic, "Loopholes," features a cast of twenty actors, gregarious knights, talking birds, giant rats, and wisecracking gods!
As a thriving empire faces war with ferocious barbarians, a mischievous scholar named Minerva hopes to bring law and civilization to a great realm populated by talking birds, giant rats, gregarious knights, elemental gods, and menacing malasanders. An unanticipated dispute among the knights gives Minerva an opportunity to uphold the doctrine of moral principles, but Minerva finds herself testing her loyalty to her aide-de-camp while helping others to learn what honor, empathy, and identity really mean. The episode stars Rori Nogee, Gerrard Lobo, Monica Ammerman, Samantha Cooper, Christopher Akpobiyeri, Rachel Baird, Sarah Golding, and a nimble cast of vivacious background players!
You can listen to "Fuel to the Fire" here. To catch up with the story so far, feel free to start at the beginning and listen to our previous four episodes.
