  A razor-sharp comedy about three cabbies competing in a local table tennis league.
  Once a week, three cabbies seek respite from their lives in a local table tennis league, and tonight they must win – or face the unthinkable oblivion of relegation.
  Deeper rivalries and competitive obsessions emerge as the team try to survive the pressure, but the real game takes place anywhere but at the table.
  Not a Game for Boys was originally performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1995. It was revived at the King's Head Theatre, London, in 2015.

  In River of Rhyme, Roger Blakiston goes deeply into his quest for the meaning of life and connection to source. His inspirational poetry spans a wide variety of topics. He takes you on an exciting and enchanting journey into magical worlds, some fantasy, and others very real. You will encounter mystical realms of Angels, Wizards, Mermaids, Fairies, Elves, and Gnomes, as well as discover your own inner light that may have remained dormant for a while. 
  Some of his poems are in storybook form and frequently contain spiritual messages between the lines. The aim with his poetry is to inspire his listeners to think outside the box and be left with a positive feeling that, despite any darkness that may appear to be happening in their lives, there is always hope as they journey forward. His wish is to assure them that beyond the veil there is a passage to a place of peace, love, and joy. 
  He believes that River of Rhyme, his fifth book, is his most profound, powerful, and life-changing book to date. Roger is a trained actor and professional magician, with a soothing, theatrical British voice.

  Night Beat Collection 1

  There were several newspaper-based dramas during radio’s golden age including “The Big Story,” “Casey, Crime Photographer”, “Box 13”, and “Let George Do It” but “Night Beat” was a cut above the others. 
   
  Night Beat followed Randy Stone, a hard-nosed Chicago Star newsman and his quest for the human-interest story behind the headlines. Hollywood actor Frank Lovejoy voiced the role of Randy Stone, who brought the character to vivid life thanks to expert scripts written by Russell Hughes, E. Jack Neumann, John Michael Hayes (who would later write the Hitchcock film classics “To Catch a Thief” and “Rear Window”), and Larry Marcus. Lovejoy’s distinctive voice and approach to the role, combined with top performances by veteran radio actors, gave “Night Beat” a radio noir style that listeners loved. The stories ran the gamut from lighthearted to tragic and through it all, Randy Stone, in a hard-boiled yet sensitive portrayal, would narrate the stories and comment on them from beginning to end—often with a hard-edged cynicism. 
   
  “Night Beat” aired on NBC radio from 1950 to 1952 and, for a time, was sponsored by Wheaties. Enjoy 12 half-hour episodes of one of the best dramas ever to be heard on radio.
