I find the voices of the refugees who tell their stories in this piece so rich, so fascinating, that they make for beautiful radio in and of themselves. In Place & Out of Character invites us to listen intently, to come and meet it. There is a lack of dramatic tension, an absence of polished acoustic stage-setting. The stories themselves are straightforward. They grow and fill the listener's mind with simple details that stick in the memory. This is a subtle piece, filled with the unique cadences of the human voice.
