Review
Historically correct...it remains both exciting and fun...Makes history more personal. 5 Stars! -- Dean Carlisle, The All Star Review, 1999
From the Publisher
This 51 minute production is completed in the rousing tradition of old time radio shows. It includes a full cast, original music score, and is chock-full of hundreds of sound effects. Not to mention one of Jeffrey Gage's most uplifting music score. Few people know of the difficultites our Pilgrim forefathers faced prior to their decison to sail to the New World. The abortive attempts to leave England, their lives in Holland, and the fateful journey which began on Mayflower and Speedwell are all covered in this exciting yet educational production, often told through the very words of William Bradford's personal journal.

Tape really helped set the mood for Thanksgiving,
This review is from: The Plimoth Adventure - Voyage of Mayflower (Audio Cassette)
I have to admit that I am a real buff of historical fiction. While this tape is historically correct, it remains both exciting and fun. We listened to it over the Thanksgiving holiday, and must admit that it added terrifically to the mood. We all really enjoyed it.

great way to teach kids with out them knowing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Plimoth Adventure - Voyage of Mayflower (Audio Cassette)
I currently have two children that I am educating at home. There is a significant age spread between the two, but one thing is for certain, both really enjoyed this tape, and both learned allot. This audio tape told a very exciting story of the Pilgrims hardships prior to their sailing to the new world. While most of us know the basics, this tape covered more unknown details. It has a full cast and music score, with lots of sound effects to make it interesting, kind of like how old time radio shows did it. We highly recommend this tape for people who enjoy american history. I only wonder when the colonial radio will continue the story with another tape. It would be great to hear their version of the first thanksgiving and how Squanto effected the first settlement of Plymouth.

Exquisite.,
By Tom Brody (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Plimoth Adventure - Voyage of Mayflower (Audio Cassette)
Obviously, the writer, director, actors, composer, and musicians are in total control of their craft. The Plimoth Adventure seems to be a work of art. The music is a special treat, with a recurring theme, and a feeling distantly reminiscent of Vaughan Williams' "A Sea Symphony," and having the catchy pop sensibilities of Monteverdi's "Vespro della Beata Vergine." The background effects ring true, and these include sounds of ransacking, rowing, water rushing, snapping fires, raising anchors, background conversation in a tavern, seagulls, cannon fire, and a scary thunderstorm. The story, as related by a lively dialogue, concerns efforts of the dissenters to escape to Holland, soldiers in Holland threatening the dissenters, commentary regarding 12 years in Holland, plans to move to Virginia, problems with the Speedwell leaking, attempts to fix the Speedwell, and commentary on where to land in America, e.g., how to avoid shoals. An amusing episode concerns a ship employee who wanted to throw all the dissenters overboard, who got sick onboard and died, and who himself was thrown overboard.
