""The joy for me is knowing that somebody can have this strange audio experience. They're getting something as good as you get from radio."" - Neil Gaimen

Produced by the Sci-Fi Channel and Seeing Ear Theatre - these two plays are adapted for voice by Neil Gaiman from two of his short stories (both stories can be found in Smoke & Mirrors).

SNOW GLASS APPLES: Once upon a time there lived a young princess with skin as white as snow, with hair as black as coal, with lips redder than blood. Most people think they know what happens to this young unfortunate girl. Most people are wrong. Tony-award winning actress Bebe Neuwirth (Chicago, Sweet Charity, and TV's Cheers) stars as a wise Queen who wants nothing more than to reign over her kingdom peacefully but is forced to match wits with an inhuman child who has an unnatural taste for blood.

Full Cast List:
Bebe Neuwirth as the Queen ; Martin Carey as the Huntsman; Mark Evans as the Prince; Merwin Goldsmith as the Lord of the Fair; J.R. Horne as the Archbishop & Friar; Alissa Hunnicutt as the Maidservant; Randy Maggiore as a Soldier; Kate Simses as the Princess; Nick Wyman as the King

MURDER MYSTERIES: In this mystery noir set in heaven's City of Angels before the fall, the first crime has been committed. It is an awful one. While the angelic hosts labor to create the world and its workings, one of their number is mysteriously slain by one of their own. Raguel, Angel of Vengeance, is mandated by Lucifer to discover both motive and murderer in this holy dominion that had so recently known no sin.

Full Cast List:
Brian Dennehy as Raguel ; Anne Bobby as Tink's Friend ; Christopher Burns as Saraquael ; Thom Christopher as Lucifer ; Ed Dennehy as Zephkiel ; Michael Emerson as Narrator ; Traci Godfrey as Tinkerbell Richmond ; Evan Pappas as Phanuel

      MURDER MYSTERIES begins in Los Angeles--the city of Angels--where a young Englishman (played by Michael Emerson) is on a stopover. At a park bench he shares a cigarette with a drifter, played by Brian Dennehy, who reveals himself to be Zephkiel, angel of vengeance, and unveils a story of murder set in heaven prior to the creation. Dennehy's narration of the story-within-a-story is superbly natural and understated. The production quality is more than adequate, but is completely eclipsed by the powerful story that explores morality and cosmology and at its end delivers a shocking revelation. In SNOW GLASS APPLES, Tony Award-winning Bebe Neuwirth (SWEET CHARITY, CHICAGO, and TV's "Cheers") narrates the story of Snow White, told from the point of view of the queen/stepmother. In this darkly disturbing version of the classic fairy tale--NOT intended for children--the princess who takes refuge among the dwarves is a bloodthirsty succubus who threatens to destroy her late father's kingdom. SciFi.com's Brian Smith pulled out the stops for this final audio drama of the Seeing Ear Theatre series. A brilliant and moving full-cast performance of Gaiman's original story with Mark Evan's as the prince and Kate Simses as the evil princess.
