[MD] New ZMM Radio Play

[Ant McWatt]

I've
 been listening to the new ZMM radio play by BBC Radio 4 over the week.  What did everyone think?  

Having seen the script a week or two before broadcast, I thought the play came over better than I 
thought it would.  I still don't like way the descriptive paragraphs 
were rewritten because Pirsig's narrative in ZMM was very carefully honed over five years (a Murry Wilson "Don't forget Brian/Bob, I'm a genius too" moment!) but I did like the addition of the Chairman addressing Phaedrus as "Mr Quality".  A nice, slightly chilling, touch.  Moreover, the actors played the lines well though (being strictly limited to ZMM), 
no MOQ of course.

Best wishes,

Ant
