The 2024 Shortlist
The BBC’s 13th Annual Celebration of Audio Drama
2023 marked the centenary year for audio/radio drama at the BBC. For 100 years of this unique genre, audio drama and comedy have provided enjoyment, diversion, illumination, insight and escape for listeners, evolving in approach and style as audio practitioners have responded to new ideas and technology with ingenuity, imagination and inspiration. These awards celebrate the creativity of actors, writers, directors, producers, musicians, sound designers and all who work in this vibrant art-form.
The winners will be announced on Sunday 24 March 2024 in a ceremony in the Radio Theatre at BBC Broadcasting House London.

Top 100 Books*
(*As apparently determined by me years ago at age 19, the last age at which I could possibly have determined such a list, in whatever order I thought of them. It is very subjective and based entirely on my personal favorite 5-star books up to that point. It has no rules about how many times an author can appear, and “100″ is a loose guideline, given that sequels and sometimes even series books are counted under 1 number. Not all of the books on this list have held up, but a surprising number of them have.)

For better or for worse, I have a job that is exempt - to a great degree - from the widespread need for isolation (in the world of news radio, the show must go on). However, I do get days off and thank goodness for that because my brain can only take so much constant pandemic talk.

The Play (Part II)
“Can you seriously not see it? They look the same.” Horatio asked exasperatedly. He was standing by Hamlet’s chair, and leaning on the top of it, waiting for the play to begin and watching the troupe scramble to prepare.
“Nah, dude. I think you're tripping,” Hamlet yawned, and looked over to where his uncle was talking to Polonius. The entire play was set. Horatio would watch Claudius from across the balcony, and Ophelia would watch him from the other side. Ophelia was already sitting where her father’s usual seat was. The lights began to dim, and Horatio put a hand on Hamlet’s head before going over to his spot.
Gertrude was sitting in her chair, and brought her ornamental opera glasses up to her eyes. Polonius scrambled over to Ophelia, and sat down in a huff. Everyone quieted down as the curtain opened and one of the actors walked out.
The actress was a tall African woman with short hair. She was wearing a fake tiara and was dramatically motioning as a second actor, a tall, skinny dude with black curly hair, walked out from behind the curtain. They silently acted out a scene, wherein the actor pretended to get tired and lie down, as the first actress waved goodbye and walked behind the curtain.
The curtains suddenly were thrown open as a third actor marched out with a small vial. He was an older guy with a stoic expression. He sneakily poured the vials’ contents into the sleeping actor’s ear, to which he comedically flailed about and dramatically died.
Hamlet stared intensely at his uncle. Horatio did the same from across the balcony. So far he had shown no emotion, and sat focused on the show. He glanced at Gertrude when the poisoner began to woo the queen. Gertrude seemed confused and slightly perturbed by the mock show, which only made Claudius nervous. The show continued, to a wedding between the queen and the poisoner, while the old king’s son grieved in the distance.
It was either a tear or sweat, Hamlet couldn’t tell, but it slid down Claudius’ face just the same. He gasped for breath, just as the mock wedding had ended and a ghost of the old king came on stage. He had fake blood dripping out of one ear. Claudius stood, and the court immediately began to murmur.
“Make it stop,” He whispered, a sound barely audible, and yet Hamlet heard. “Lights! Stop the show! Lights!” Claudius flailed about and shouted.
Hamlet knew the truth, and sat back in his chair as his senses overloaded. The lights immediately flashed on, the court began shouting and yelling, and all of the sudden, Hamlet felt a cold blade up against the side of his neck.
He glanced behind him, and saw that the leader of the troupe, the lady with the pink braids, was holding a switchblade to his throat. No one noticed in all the chaos, and Hamlet sat completely still.
“What do you want?” He said quietly.
“What I came here to do,” She whispered in his ear.
This would have been the end of Hamlet, had Horatio not seen what was happening just in time.
“Hey!” He shouted, and shoved Gertrude’s empty chair. It fell over and the woman leaped out of the way before it could land on her. Hamlet took a breath, and jumped out of his chair. Horatio grabbed his hand and took off towards where Ophelia was. The actors realized what was happening, and ran backstage. The leader of the troupe pursued Hamlet, switch blade in hand. Horatio grabbed Ophelia’s hand and brought her along, as the trio ran down the steps and out into the castle. The woman knocked into Polonius, threw him aside, and continued after the trio.
They ran as fast as their legs would carry them. They sped along the carpeted halls, and would have made it to the great hall, where the guard would help them, except the rest of the troupe appeared in their way, barring the exit.
Hamlet took off around the corner, and Ophelia and Horatio followed. The troupe was hot on their trail, but Hamlet rounded another corner, jumped up a flight of stairs, took a brick out of the wall, and shoved open a secret passageway. He pushed Ophelia and Horatio in, and slammed the secret door shut just as the troupe was rounding the corner. The three of them sat on the floor, breathing hard from the chase.
“Where’s the others? Are they still on the balcony?” Ophelia asked nervously.
“Maybe, but since the troupe is chasing us, they’ll be safe for a little bit. We should meet up with them.” Hamlet stood and began to find his way along the dimly lit passageway.
“Do you believe me now?” Horatio huffed.
“About what?” Hamlet turned around.
“They are the rebels!”
“Oh. Yeah, I guess so. I still don’t really see it. There’s a lot of people who want to kill me, you know.”
Horatio let out an exasperated sigh.
“Let’s go get the others. Lead the way, Hamlet.”
And so they did. Hamlet led them through the passage, and they made it to a vent in the floor of the balcony where they were only minutes before. A few minutes later, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Annalise, Ben, and Marc were crawling into the passage through the large vent. The crowd had left the balcony, so no one suspected anything as the group crawled right below them.
They sat on the floor of the passage, just catching their breath and figuring out what to do. Ben and Marc had joined them for the play, and were holding hands as they sat next to each other.
“That’s kinda gay,” Rosencrantz teased them lightly.
“Uhh, yeah?” Ben looked at him confusedly.
“We’ve been dating for three months.” Marc said, staring at Rosencrantz.
“What? When did that happen?” Guildenstern asked.
“Like, a long time ago? Where have you guys been? Our three month anniversary was yesterday.”
“Oh, three months?! I’m so happy for you guys!” Annalise hugged Marc.
“Anna, you knew about this?” Hamlet asked.
“Sure I did!” She smiled.
Everyone laughed and congratulated the couple. They waited until the noise in the castle had died down and the rebels had been sent away by Claudius. Then they crawled out of the passage into the dark hall. It had been quite the evening. The play had fallen apart, but Hamlet knew what he needed now.
Claudius was guilty; the ghost was right. Hamlet’s objective: revenge.

Gertrude Kappel was born on September 1st 1884 in Halle an der Saale, Germany. started to study singing at the Leipzig Conservatory as a pupil of Arthur Nikisch. Already on the occasion of her debut at the Opera House of Hanover in Beethoven´s “Fidelio“ in 1904 her voice caused quite a stir. She was offered a permanent engagement and soon sang her first big role, Salome. Although she was generally considered to be a mezzo soprano, Kappel was repeatedly cast in soprano roles. In 1912 she made her debut at the Covent Garden Opera in London as Brünnhilde in “Die Walküre“ and “Götterdämmerung“. One year later, she repeated these two roles and added Venus and Elisabeth in “Tannhäuser“ under the direction of Arthur Nikisch and, again, returned to London in 1914 to sing the three “Ring“-Brünnhilden. At the Opera House of Hanover she was heard as Donna Anna, Pamina, Aida, Santuzza, Elektra and Octavian, but also in operetta-roles, such as Saffi in “Der Zigeunerbaron“ or Rosalinde in “Die Fledermaus“. Richard Strauss, who had followed her career with great interest, recommended her to the Vienna State Opera, where Kappel made her first appearance in 1921. Under Strauss´ direction she sang Donna Anna at the Salzburg Festival in 1922.
Bruno Walter brought her back to London for his production of the “Ring“, where her partners were Lotte Lehmann, Maria Olszewska and Jacques Urlus. In 1925 she was, again, acclaimed by the London public under Bruno Walter as Elektra and Senta. In the years 1925 and 1926 the singer appeared in Vienna as Färberin in “Die Frau ohne Schatten“, “Walküre“-Brünnhilde, Ortrud, in “Violanta“ by Erich Korngold and in “Die Königin von Saba“. At the New York Metropolitan Opera Gertrude Kappel made her debut in 1928 as Isolde (with Rudolf Laubenthal, Karin Branzell and Michael Bohnen), which became one of her greatest personal triumphs. In New York she was heard as Brünnhilde, Kundry, Fricka in “Rheingold“, Leonore in „Fidelio“, Elektra and in a series of performances of “La Juive“ with Giovanni Martinelli. Her farewell performance at the MET took place in 1935 as “Walküre“-Brünnhilde with Flagstad and Melchior as her partners.
Although Kappel´s name will remain principally linked to the works of Richard Wagner, her repertory in both the French and Italian fach was impressive, too. Apart from her outstanding vocal merits, critics praised her ability to shape and „sense“ the characters of the roles she impersonated on stage. Astonishingly, this excellent singer, who has enjoyed a great international career, has left all too few recordings: in 1911 “Favorite“ produced 16 titles and only in 1924 she recorded 6 titles for “Grammophon“, three further recordings remained unpublished. Gertrude Kappel died near Munich in Bavaria on April 3rd 1971.

Trolley Campaigners Storm Small Towns and Votes for Women is the Battle Cry
By Kathleen Motes Bennewitz
“The Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association (CWSA) continues to stir the State with its unique trolley campaign,” penned The Woman’s Journal, a venerable weekly published in Boston, on March 2, 1912. The suffrage drive being extolled was the “Votes for Women Trolley Campaign,” the tactical innovation of CWSA state organizer Emily Pierson. For three months—from January 24 to March 21—the campaign held rallies at every municipality with trolley stops—46 in all—in Fairfield, New Haven, and Hartford counties.
“Votes for Women Automobile Tour Through Litchfield County,” August 1911 – Courtesy of Dr. Kenneth Florey
The trolley campaign built on the success of the CWSA’s August 1911 “Votes for Women Automobile Tour through Litchfield County.” On that benchmark campaign, “the quiet tree-lined streets” of 27 towns were “invaded by automobiles” carrying parties of recent college graduates and state suffrage leaders. The women, along with guest speakers, galvanized audiences at meetings, adding new members and equal franchise leagues along the way.
For the lengthier winter trolley campaign, Pierson strategically leveraged a more expansive transportation network operated by the Connecticut Company, which at its peak in the 1910s ran over 2,200 cars on nearly 800 miles of track. Her route, planned along lines running from the New York border at Greenwich to the Massachusetts line near Suffield, made for an affordable, convenient way to travel to the events. Also central to the plan was that Fairfield, New Haven, and Hartford counties collectively contained 78 of the state’s 168 municipalities and 75 percent of the general population, which had grown exponentially with surges in immigration. By attracting large, broad audiences from the local and neighboring communities to its rallies, the CWSA sought to expand its support base, fund-raise, and win over voting men as well as influential citizens and legislators to help support woman’s franchise in upcoming sessions of the General Assembly.
Another newsworthy element was the speaker roster of over 80 prominent public figures and reformers from Connecticut, across the nation, and England. The remarkable list included US senators, a state governor, college presidents and professors, labor union leaders, and such notables as Inez Mullholland, Anna Howard Shaw, Jane Addams, Rheta Childe Dorr, and English suffragists Ethel M. Arnold, Margaret G. Bondfield, and Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale; among the men were Charles Beard, Stanton Coit, Max Eastman, John H. Light, Owen Lovejoy, Ernest Thompson Seton, Lincoln Steffens, and Charles Zeublin.
Connecticut Suffragists Take to the Rails
“Votes for Women Trolley Campaign” program; inscribed by Caroline Ruutz-Rees, CWSA Fairfield County chairman, to Mrs. Agnes E. Blanchard, librarian, South Norwalk Public Library. Elise M. Hill Scrapbook (1912) – Clara Mossman Hill and Elsie M. Hill Collection, Fairfield Museum and History Center Library.
The CWSA launched the trolley campaign on January 24 at Bridgeport’s Warner Hall, with speaker Max Eastman—the secretary of the New York City’s Men’s League for Woman Suffrage and the soon-to-be editor of the socialist periodical, The Masses. It culminated with great fanfare on March 28th at Parson’s Theatre in Hartford. In between, Pierson’s “trolley leaguers” crisscrossed each county at a dizzying pace, presenting four to six evening rallies per week.
Throngs of fervent suffragists, together with the curious, undecided, and even antis, filled the venues—town halls, theaters, libraries, and beach casinos—to hear the reformers and calls to mobilize from Katharine Houghton Hepburn, Josephine Day Bennett, Annie Gertrude Porritt, and other CWSA leaders. Emily Pierson was on the dais at practically every stop to share the objectives for waging this campaign, especially in small towns. Since each municipality, regardless of size, was represented by two representatives in Hartford, making full suffrage a local issue, she explained, could influence the nomination and election of pro-suffrage legislators.
Decorated automobiles of CWSA suffragists swarmed Litchfield County in August 1911 – CWSA Records (RG 101), Connecticut State Library.
The 1912 trolley crusade proved tremendously successful with over 23,400 people addressed and 2,320 new supporters signing a petition declaring, “I believe in equal suffrage for men and women.” For many towns, the campaign was a maiden suffrage event or launched an equal franchise league, and by the November 1912 annual meeting, the CWSA had increased its auxiliaries from 18 to 47, with many emerging along this campaign route.
In the wake of the trolley campaign, the suffrage movement rapidly gained ground across the state. To push the momentum, the CWSA next invaded New London County with a summer automobile tour, then planned campaigns for the remaining three counties. As The Woman’s Journal aptly stated that July, “For the Connecticut suffragists, every year is a campaign year, and both the State Association and the local leagues, which are affiliated with it, are determined that there shall be no slackening of activities until an amendment of the State constitution has granted Votes for Women.”
Kathleen Motes Bennewitz serves as Westport’s town curator and helps manage the Westport Public Art Collections. She has worked for art and historical museums across the country and today is an independent American art historian and exhibition curator.

@tunjiaj in ALL OF THEM WITCHES 🔮🧹 a fun show @jeffreydeitchgallery LA organized by @dannadel & @lauriesimmons ⠀ The exhibition arose fr a conversation Dan & Laurie have been having for years about their shared affinity for a certain kind of art to which they're drawn to, can’t quite name, but recognize when they see it. Artworks & artists that share an affinity w what they thought of as a “witchy” sensibility, using the iconography of the #supernatural, #occult & #witchcraft to channel ideas about power, the body & gender. 〰️ “In a time of constant historical and thematic artistic rediscoveries, we present a breadcrumb trail that already exists—a shared language across generations of artists who share in a knowledge of, and taste for, a bit of cauldron and a touch of darkness.” -Dan Nadel & Laurie Simmons ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ The artists participating are: Gertrude Abercrombie #TunjiAdeniyiJones Janine Antoni Auste Sylvie Auvray Heather Benjamin Ellen Berkenblit Judith Bernstein Amy Bessone Alison Blickle Sascha Braunig Melissa Brown Cameron Ellen Carey Sarah Charlesworth #JudyChicago Colette Myrlande Constant Niki de Saint Phalle Georganne Deen Jimmy DeSana Trenton Doyle Hancock Renate Druks Hayden Dunham Celeste Dupuy Spencer Rachel Feinstein Audrey Flack Sylvie Fleury Anna Gaskell Tamara Gonzales Trulee Hall Allison Janae Hamilton Lyle Ashton Harris Judy Hudson Marguerite Humeau Cameron Jamie Jane Kaplowitz Caitlin Keough Aline Kominsky-Crumb Suzy Lake Greer Lankton Judith Linhares Michael Mahalchick Guadalupe Maravilla Juanita McNeely Ana Mendieta #MarilynMinter Shana Moulton Jill Mulleady Willa Nasatir Shirin Neshat Bea Nettles Niagara Kayode Ojo Breyer P-Orridge Maia Cruz Palileo #ArianaPapademetropoulos Kembra Pfahler Keisha Scarville Carolee Schneeman Michelle Segre #CindySherman Hollis Sigler #XavieraSimmons Jack Smith Kiki Smith Nancy Spero Francine Spiegel Robert Therrien John Torreano Deborah Turbeville Andra Ursuta Marnie Weber Matthew Weinstein Karen Yasinsky #LisaYuskavage __ #allofthemwitches #dannadel #lauriesimmons #jeffreydeitch #friezeweek #oscars #friezela #BlackExcellence #RepresentationMatters #blackbeauty #artcurator #artadvisor #destineeross (at Jeffrey Deitch) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cE8i0ldL1/?igshid=1fbe3yqudq6yj

Every Baby Name We Could Possibly Think Of
Naming your baby is a big decision, and with endless options, it can also be a difficult one. Whether you're going the traditional route or want something more unique (if so, read this first!) it's helpful to have a little, or a lot, of inspiration. Ahead, you'll find nearly every baby name we could think of (close to 1,000!). These aren't just random names we found in a book or concocted ourselves - they're almost all monikers we've heard being used, or we actually know someone who goes by the name.

In Which Occurs a Screaming Match, but More Importantly, Cupcakes
Hamlet rolled out of bed at noon, and threw on a hoodie to go down to get some coffee. Ophelia met him in the hall, and laughed. “Did you just get out of bed?” She smiled. “I’m going to visit Horatio in a little while if you wanna join.” She seemed to be happy this morning, and that made Hamlet happy.
“Yeah, I’ll come, just lemme get some coffee.” He smirked at her. She nodded and walked off.
Hamlet made his way to the kitchen, and walked straight to the counter where the coffee pot sat. Someone had made a new pot very recently, and he looked at the steam quizzically as it floated through the opening in the lid.
“Good morning!” Annalise’s cheery voice floated through the door. It swung open, and she walked in. “How’d you sleep?” she asked with a bouncy smile.
Hamlet grinned back at her, and replied, “Eh, okay. Are you coming with Ophelia to the hospital?”
Anna nodded. “Yeah, I’m just finishing these cupcakes, and I’m gonna bring ‘em to Horatio and Marc.”
“Oh, neat. What flavor?”
“Chocolate,” Anna replied.
Hamlet smiled, set down a mug out of the cabinet, and poured it full of steaming coffee. Anna walked back through the door as the alarm started beeping, and Hamlet settled himself by a table and pulled up a chair.
He was just starting to drink from the mug, when Polonius marched into the kitchen. Hamlet jumped slightly at the sudden noise, and set down the mug.
Polonius turned about, and upon spotting him, glared, humphed, and marched right back out.
Hamlet watched him leave, and rolled his eyes. He picked up the cup again, but Anna called from the kitchen, “What time did Ophelia say she was going?”
“She didn’t say!” Hamlet shouted back. He heard her set something down with a clink of porcelain on granite. Gertrude had allowed her to use the kitchen whenever she wanted to, to make whatever she wanted. The Queen had learned about her rough home life, and immediately ‘taken her under her own motherly wing’.
Hamlet lifted his cup a third time, but almost spilled it just as Claudius burst through the door. “Christ, I just want some coffee,” he muttered, turning to see who it was, and then immediately looked away.
“Hamlet!” Claudius practically shouted.
Hamlet didn’t look at him, but mumbled, “Can you turn the volume down a bit?”
Claudius frowned when he didn’t turn to address him. Hamlet thought he looked like a frog when he frowned. “Hamlet, I need to speak with you. It’s about,” he gestured around, “This. I mean, you didn’t even come down until noon! What about your courtly duties? All you want to do is squander the royal money and run off to England with your little friends!”
Hamlet slowly turned around to face him. “Okay, great, we’re both on the same page that I’m a sucky person. Now what the hell do you want? I’m sure it’s not to yell about my sleep schedule.”
“I want to talk to you about your… questionable choices. By which I mean, well, running off in the middle of the night all the time, throwing the court into a confusion at any given opportunity, and now, what, running away from your home? I just don’t understand!”
Hamlet stared at him tiredly, and took a sip of his coffee. “Look, I know you’re mad about me going to England-”
Claudius cut him off, “And running off all the time, that too.”
“And that,” Hamlet glared at him. “But look, every single person my age goes to college. You went to college! And anyways, I’m an adult who can drive and I can do what I want. It’s none of your business where I go. Besides, when my friends aren’t literally in life or death situations, I might not feel the need to go help them.”
Claudius sputtered for a moment, and then said, “Well I just don’t like seeing your mother in such an upset state all the time! Ever since-”
“Ever since what?” Hamlet stood up. He knew what Claudius was going to say. Ever since his father had died. But Hamlet knew the truth. How could he have forgotten and ignored it for so long? This was the man who killed his father. Hamlet mused at how easy it would be to kill him right as he stood. So easy.
Claudius stared at Hamlet hard. There was no way he could possibly know-
“Fine! Go off to England! Do whatever you please! I don’t care, I’m just trying to do what’s best for my son and my country-!”
“It is NOT YOUR COUNTRY!” Hamlet shouted. “This is NOT your home! Nor am I your fucking ‘son’ either.” Hamlet added the last bit under his breath.
“I am warning you young man, don’t-”
“I am leaving! I’m gonna be out of here in a week! Just shut the hell up and leave me alone!” Hamlet was reeling.
“Excuse me!”
“AGH!” Hamlet ran out of the kitchen, and down the hall.
He wanted to kill him. He wanted to kill him so much.
Hamlet stopped after he was far from the kitchen, and waited until he couldn’t hear Claudius stomping around anymore. He put his back against the wall and slid down until his knees were touching his forehead. He wrapped his arms around his legs and tried to calm down.
A small sound made him look up. Guildenstern had just come around the other corner and had stopped after he saw him.
“You good?” He asked.
“Yeah, G, I’m fine, I just- wait,” Hamlet looked up at Guildenstern. “Did you just dye your hair?”
Guildenstern stood in front of him, with now bright blue-green fuzzy hair on top of his usual brown undercut. He smiled, “Like it? Anna helped me do it a couple hours ago.”
“It looks pretty good, actually,” Hamlet laughed. He’d seen Guildenstern with tons of different hair colors before. He always did it on a whim, and would emerge from his room with some kind of fluorescent coloring. “Don’t let Polonius see,” Hamlet laughed. He was strictly against, well, basically everything that Guildenstern did.
“Oh no, I’m counting on it.” He grinned. Hamlet laughed and stood up.
Just then, Annalise came around the corner, holding a platter full of new cupcakes. The scent flooded the hallway, and she stopped in front of them.
“Oh, hey guys! Want one? I’m taking one to Marc now!” She held the platter out to them and they each took one.
“Thanks, Anna.” Guildenstern said as he took off the wrapped and stuffed it in his mouth.
“Yeah, no problem!” she said, and continued down the hall, Hamlet and Guildenstern following.
She walked to the room where they had set Marc up in, and she knocked on the door. After a quiet “come in” she gently opened the door, balancing the tray on one hand, and walked into the room. Mac was sitting on the end of his bed, reading a book.
“I made some cupcakes, do you want one?” Her voice was gentle, but still bright.
Marc hesitated, but then took one and thanked her. He had multiple places wrapped with a white cloth to help some of the burns heal quicker, and still looked like a ghost. His face was very pale, save for a few red spots that were still healing, and his eyes looked very tired, with a ring of purple underneath.
“You’re looking a little better than yesterday! Did you sleep any better?” Anna asked in concern. She had made it her personal job to take care of the guys, and had religiously checked up on both, constantly making food and visiting them. She had been forced to pass it off to the others while she had been off at court for a few days, but now was back and ready to help. She was going to make this better any way she could.
“Hey, Marc, I won’t force you if you don’t want, but...” Hamlet walked further into the room, “We’re gonna go back to college soon, right after Horatio gets better enough to go, and if you wanna come too you definitely can. You don’t even have to take any classes, if you just wanna hang out with us.”
Marc thought for a moment. “It might be nice to have a little fresh air,” He mused softly. “Yeah, I’ll come. Thanks.” He gave a pained smile.
“Okay, great!” Hamlet smiled, and looked at Guildenstern.
“We’re gonna take it really slow, but I definitely think getting away from here for a while would be a great idea,” Guildenstern added. Marc nodded.
Annalise put a hand on Marc’s good shoulder, and rubbed it a little. Marc leaned his head against her hand, and smiled. “I told Horatio I’d go check up on him and bring him a cupcake, but I’ll be back in a little while.” She said. “Should I get anything for you while I’m out?”
Marc thought for a moment, but shook his head. “No, that’s okay. Anna,” he looked up at her. “Thank you. For everything. You’ve been absolutely amazing.”
Anna brightened. “I’m gonna do whatever I can to make this all okay.”
“Don’t stress yourself out too much, okay?” He looked at her seriously. He knew her habit of ignoring herself to help others. Her smile faltered, and she looked away for a moment.
“Yeah, I will, thanks,” she said.
“Okay. Go see Horatio, he’s probably waiting for you guys.” Marc said, and the three of them left, closing the door quietly. Anna sighed, straightened her posture, took the tray of cupcakes from Guildenstern, and walked down the hall.
They met up with Ophelia and Rosencrantz, and they went down to get the van.
