i am listening to "an inspector calls" now. While it is true that Morven Christie is not a particularly big-name actress, I think she is going to make a drop-dead FABULOUS Verity.

Interesting comment about the voice actresses. It is true we don't have that anime culture, but we do have a strong and thriving culture of radio drama, which doesn't hold anywhere near as important a place in US performance art nowadays as it used to. I hadn't actually thought about it but it's a definite advantage.
