The Beaten Path

Recommended by

  • Paul Smith: The Beaten Path by William Thomas Berk
    “

    This is a clever two-hander. If you're on the run, then just make sure you know who you are getting involved with. William Thomas Berk tells a very believable tale giving few hints as to how things will progress, leaving the audience to use their imagination as to what happens next. Inventive, original and fun!
