"When a woman's husband is killed, you're susposed to do something about it."

Phil (short for Philomena) Byrnes and her husband ran their Gloucester MA detective agency until he was killed at his desk. It's not a case of her stepping into his spot to keep the family business running  -- she was a working detective long before his death -- and she makes for a refreshingly prickly widow.

Now Phil runs the agency with the help of her assistant Buzzy, with occasional forays to Papa's Bar, for a little liquid refreshment now and then, and some occasional paternal advice from Papa. She's also helped out in her investigation by Detective Jim Colman, a member of Gloucester's finest, who has a soft spot for Phil, though she seems largely unaware of it. Evidently she's still trying to come to terms with her husband's murder.

THE COLONIAL RADIO THEATRE presents A PHIL BYRNES MYSTERY. Starring DIANE CAPEN. JAMES TURNER. J.T. TURNER and the Colonial Radio Players. Written by Sable Jak. Produced by Chris Snyder and Matt McLaren. Music By Jeffrey Gage. Directed by Jerry Robbins. (c)2006 by Sable Jak (P) 2006 by CRT

BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.


Each word of this production builds a picture of richness and complexity of Shakespeare's characters. The clarity of radio gives added poignancy to the young Prince's struggles and greater depth to Falstaff's exuberance.


The play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre.


Revitalised, original and comprehensive - this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.

All Shook Up: Music, Passion, and Politics


Author : Carson Holloway

Performed By : Nadia May

Publisher : Blackstone Audio Inc

Runtime : 6 hours 30 minutes

Categories : Arts & Drama

Our Price : $14.95

"The great virtue of All Shook Up is its unfashionable insistence that music be taken seriously...

"Wall Street Journal


"Refreshing...may well appeal to both critics and defenders of pop music."

Publishers Weekly


The national debate over popular music's effect on character is both furious and confused. Conservatives complain primarily about lyrics, appealing to public decency and safety. Liberals, swift to the defense of any self-expression, simultaneously celebrate rock's liberating ethos and deny its cultural influence. Carson Holloway is out to shatter the assumptions of pop's critics and defenders alike, showing that

music is more beneficial than we think.


Plato and Aristotle, Holloway finds, were aware that music can either inflame the soul with passion or can awaken it to reason and help to cultivate temperance. What Holloway proposesa rediscovery of the musical wisdom of Plato and Aristotlewill completely change the way we think about music.


Carson Holloway is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the 2005-06 William E. Simon Fellow in the James Madison Program at Princeton University. His articles have appeared in the Review of Politics and Interpretation: A Journal of Political Philosophy.


Nadia May has been nominated as an AudioFile Golden Voice five years running and is a winner of fourteen AudioFile Earphones Awards. She is the co-founder of TheatreFirst, a theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.
