I listened to both CBC broadcasts of "The Red Badge of Courage". Michael did an outstanding job on both of his characters, using two different types of Southern regional dialects, to differentiate his characters.. (I am in the position to judge the dialects as I live in the Southern region of the United States) I emailed a Mr. James Roy, the Executive Producer of the CBC Sunday Showcase, which aired Red Badge of Courage, inquiring as to whether a tape would be made available for sale. His reply, in part: "I am not certain if a tape will be available. Usually one would be, but since Red Badge is a co-production with the BBC, the logistics are more complex. I will have someone respond to you on this matter, thought it may take a couple of weeks." If you are interested in ordering a copy of "Red Badge", click on the "Inquire" link to your right and email CBC to let them know you would be interested in purchasing this tape. Also, feel free to contact both CBC radio and BBC radio and let them know how much you enjoyed their broadcast, and of course, Michael Mahonen. |
