Trama
Please note: This content is not for kids. It is for mature audiences only. Just like the original graphic novels, this audio adaptation contains explicit language and graphic violence, as well as strong sexual content and themes. Discretion is advised.
Enter the Dreaming again as the blockbuster audio adaptation of "the greatest epic in the history of comic books" continues in The Sandman: Act II. James McAvoy returns to voice Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, in this sequel to the #1 New York Times audio best-seller. Journey into a world of myths, imagination, and terror based on the best-selling DC comic books and graphic novels written by Neil Gaiman (returning as the Narrator), and lose yourself in another groundbreaking, immersive drama adapted and directed by the award-winning audio master Dirk Maggs.
In the absolutely packed Act II, the dark fantasy resumes and the Sandman expands into the French Revolution, Ancient Rome, 19th-Century San Francisco, 8th-century Baghdad, and beyond. New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter.
Just close your eyes and listen again as the greatest epic continues.
Act II of the audio series The Sandman adapts collected volumes 4 (Season of Mists) and 5 (A Game of You) of the comics in their entirety, and most of volume 6 (Fables & Reflections).¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
Come sperato, dopo il successo del primo audiodrama dedicato a The Sandman, ecco uscire il secondo atto.
Il secondo volume comprende gli albi Season of Mists, A Game of You e buona parte di Fables & Reflections, riconfermando il cast del primo volume e con nuove gueststar di alto calibro.
Accanto a James McAvoy sembra sempre più in parte (e più divertito) nei panni di Morpheus, troviamo Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Joanna Lumley, Bill Nighy, David Tennant e Michael Sheen... oltre altri numerosi nomi più o meno famosi.
La trasposizione audio dei comics risulta ottima e perfettamente funzionale al mezzo e, anche senza aver letto prima i volumi, come nel mio caso, si riesce a seguire e a godere della scena, anche senza nessun riferimento grafico a cui appigliarsi.
Pur dovendosi presto scontrare con la serie televisiva, un Atto III è dato quasi per scontato... o almeno così si spera.
5 / 5
