At the beginning of the 20th century a small group of unscrupulous people want to make the legend around the mystical plant Mandragora officinarum, better known as Alraune, come true. Therefore a sex murderer's sperm and a willing prostitute have to be procured. Nine months later a girl, who is calling Alraune, is born. This audioplay based on the book "Alraune" written by Hanns Heinz Ewers, published in 1911. Since the publication various film adaptations have been produced. And also Titania Media had ventured to tackle this work. Contrary to the other audio plays by Titania Media I have not been too fond at this one. This is not a fault in the realization, rather it is the story I didn't really like. The idea of creating an artificial human like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or Fritz Lang's Metropolis appealed to me very much. I do love scifi stories about topics of this kind. Unfortunately it's taken too far to the extreme. The first half you're full of anticipation. But then ... homoeroticism, sadism, masochism, necrophilia, vampirism, pedophilia ... why so much? One or two of them very well made would have been enough. Like always the narrator ensemble convinced with his professionalism. One of the highlights for me was the small role of my favourite voice actor Pascal Breuer as Dr. Karl Petersen. It was really interesting to hear him in the role of the submissive stuttering servant. Normally he's narrating either the badass villain or the arrogant aristocrat. But he has done his job very well! Music and sound effects was directed as economically and efficiently as you could. I think the whole story divides up the opinions and everyone is entitled to form its own view on that. So, go listen to it! In all cases it's a valuable experience!
