As much as I hate abridged anything, even more hated is an altered and abridged retelling of a story.
That said, I just spent a Sunday afternoon listening to the Alive version of Ender’s Game. It was time very well spent. Everyone involved with the project did a wonderful job.
Thank you all, very much.
Hi, Neal! This is Gabrielle, the original Voice of Valentine in the Unabridged audiobooks, and the director of Ender’s Game Alive. Thanks for sticking with it. Although, this actually was not an abridgement. Orson Scott Card wrote this as an original teleplay, fleshing it out as he saw fit. It is also unique in construction, in that it does not have a traditional “narrator” as most radio dramas do. Card has actually stated that he feels this is the best version of Ender’s Game that he has written. Of course, we have done all of the Ender’s series unabridged. This was the author’s response to the less than thrilling film screenplay which was created about the same time. I remain very proud of this production, and wish we could do more like it. But the price point is prohibitive. Again, thank you for your support. Always.
Totally enjoyed this production. It’s a new way to enjoy the story, to understand the story, to see new parallels in the story. I am so happy that the original voices have joined with some new and outstanding voices to tell the story again with Orson Scott Card’s screenplay. It must be a costly way to tell the story, but so worth it for us, the listeners/readers. Thank you! I hope the price-point can be brought down in the future so more productions are accessible.
