From Jules Verne comes this radio production about an English Blockade Runner in the American Civil War, and its attempt to free a prisoner held by the Confederates.
A sea story by a great author comes to life

Bob from Colorado - 19 Jun 2004
Jules Verne wrote some incredible stories in his day many of which have been made into successful movies. It only seems right that the Colonial Radio should present one of his little known Civil War short stories to the listening public. while it may not be one of his most fanciful tales, it is packed with action and suspence, and remains quite true to its time.
I think you will find this program to be an enjoyable hour spent, and then you will begin to wonder about what else Jules wrote that needs to be performed by these guys.
