Swan Song (3.3)

    Big Finish Jago and Litefoot Series

Alice indeed. A woman in a wheelchair in the future, part of a project where they are experimenting with time travel in relatively the same location as the New Regency Theater stood. The fabric between the future and past is fragile thanks to Dr. Payne’s experiments and the people working on this time technology for him are in the future and doing their best to pull it apart. Though strangely, Dr. Payne never shows up in this story. This is something that doesn’t make sense to me. He has a possible “solution” to time travel in his grasp and he just lets it go? Doesn’t visit at the crutial time? Very odd that.

We discover a good many things about Jago and his theater in this story. And their relationship. It’s quite the most interesting part of the tale! I really enjoyed it because of that, ultimately.
