Mike Daisey is a fierce storyteller, one minute hilarious, the next minute sweet, with a fine-tuned ear for digression. He circles in on his uneasy subject matter, closer and closer, until he exposes the raw heart. The New York Times calls him "the master storyteller" and he has been compared to Garrison Keillor, Spalding Gray, and David Sedaris.

It's a special Un-Cabaret compilation of four deeply funny stories about the Christmas holiday. John Riggi tries desperately to create some kind of Christmas ritual with his family; Jenny Bicks wins an Emmy and discovers the limits of giving; Michael Patrick King unwraps an inspired piece about his Christmas secret; and Brent Forrester celebrates a spectacularly nightmarish New Year's Eve in Hawaii.

The World's Worst Backpacker is for anyone who has gone on a day hike, picked up a backpack, or walked for a few days in the middle of nowhere. Ken's stories are not just cautionary tales; they're the kind of tales all backpackers (and would-be backpackers) acquire if they don't stop soon enough. They're the kind of tales that leave you wondering, "Am I the worst person at this?" when you start and thankful you're not when the story ends.

Nachdem der russische Spion endlich gefunden wurde, beschließen die Regierungsbeamten, ihre mysteriöse Operation "Matroschka" zu starten. Sheriff Cody traut den beiden allerdings nicht. Er setzt Deputy Landers auf sie an - und bringt seinen Kollegen damit in große Gefahr. Während die Gerüchte um den Nachtmahr immer lauter werden, fasst Cody mehr und mehr Vertrauen zu Deputy Taylor - und erzählt ihr die furchtbare Wahrheit über den Tod seiner Frau.

Mr. Chang warnt Cody vor den Leichen der Opfer, doch der hat andere Sorgen: Amy hat sich durch die Medizin verändert, und Michael leidet unter Liebeskummer. Währenddessen erzählt Taylor dem besorgten Mr. Hunter, was ihrem Dad damals in Vietnam passiert ist - und was er mit Amy vorhat. Doch sie scheint nicht die ganze Wahrheit zu kennen.

Während Mr. Miller erpresst wird, stellt der ominöse Hotelgast Mr. Marzini weiterhin seltsame Fragen. Und auch Landers steht vor einem Rätsel: Manche der ausgegrabenen Opfer weisen Veränderungen auf, die unmöglich zu erklären sind. Darunter auch der Leichnam von Freak. Landers beschließt, sich dessen Haus nochmal genauer anzusehen, und macht dabei unerwartete Beute.

Oregon, 4. Juli 1983 - Die Regierung befindet sich in höchster Alarmbereitschaft. Operation "Matroschka" ist fehlgeschlagen, der Nachtmahr konnte entkommen.

Er kann nicht verstehen, wieso Taylor, Sheriff Cody und seine Familie wie vom Erdboden verschluckt sind.

It’s now acknowledged that the Great Houses were largely responsible for creating the current shape of history, not simply by interfering in major events (although they may have dabbled) but by engineering the entire framework of history as a single definite structure. What’s less well-known is just how easy it is to access that structure’s foundations. Before the War, it was usual for Great House installations to be linked to the Houses’ “records library”, buried in the framework beneath normal time.

A Cyber War rages throughout the galaxy. The Earth-aligned worlds are fighting for survival against the cold, emotionless might of the Cyber Bloc - an alliance of planets whose inhabitants have undergone cybernetic conversion in the name of racial superiority.

L'opera fa parte del progetto "AutoreVole: audiodrammi in teatro" in cui autori di fama nazionale si sono confrontati con la drammaturgia radiofonica. Allestiti in teatro, gli audiodrammi permettono agli spettatori - dotati di radiocuffie - di "vedere la radio". In una città mai nominata di un paese immaginario quattro giovani donne - Stella, Marida, Rosa e Iris - devono recuperare l'ultimo pagamento per una di quelle cene eleganti in villa, dal Presidente, che malauguratamente sono finite sui giornali deflagrando in scandalo. Il Presidente, cuor di leone, è sparito dietro a telefonini che non suonano e centralini che non si lasciano più scavalcare. Ma il Contabile - il millimetrico ragionier Biassoni - c'è ancora.
