The pilgrims embark on a perilous voyage to the New World in search of religious freedom.

"Jerry Robbins and the Colonial Radio Players bring to life the persecution and betrayals of the Puritans, while still in Europe, that compelled their flight to the New World. While this tape is historically correct, it remains both exciting and fun. This audio presentation has a full cast and music score, with lots of sound effects, engaging your attention and imagination. The Plimoth Adventure, Voyage of the Mayflower makes history more personal for the listener" - Dean Carlisle, All Star Review

Sleeve Notes:

From the actual pages of the journal of William Bradford, we bring you our production detailing the Pilgrims' epic struggle for religious freedom in the New World. The play dramatizes this monumental undertaking by the Pilgrim Fathers, and we attempt to illustrate the trials and tribulations that lead up to their sailing from Southampton, England in the year 1620. Our Music Director, Jeffrey Gage, has composed his most uplifting and magnificent radio score to date and was able to once again incorporate some actual themes from the period. The Colonial Radio Players hope to please you, everyone, as they step to the microphones and present The Plimoth Adventure -Voyage Of Mayflower

The reviewers at the All Star Review got it right when they gave this production a 5 star rating. This program brims with Thanksgiving flavor. I always listen to it during that time of year, I just love the mood it creates. It is a perfect way to learn a little about the pilgrims, and have a good time while doing so. The music is once again perfect (their music director Jeff Gage is certainly one of the best in the industry). After hearing this show you can not help but appreciate all that our forefathers went through to get here and create the country we all now love.

Audio books really are a wonderful thing, not only do they transport you to other worlds, introduce you to other people’s ideas and culture, they are also a lot more flexible than books. The book drains your time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time.

Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want.

Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again.
