The sixth, final episode of Dirty Diana can be described with tension mostly. Diana is tense, her guests are tense, and the relationship between her husband and her is tense. Plus, her girlfriends aren’t really helpful either, they are just telling her stuff as they pop into their minds. I dare to say that without them, Diana could rebuild her life much much easier.
Compared to the episodes so far, we now hear two fantasies, but neither of them really caught me. One of them is a complete cliché, fits to the stripper character who tells the story - by the way, this character was portrayed the shallowest in the whole audio drama. The other fantasy is a little more interesting, more lifelike, but still not as stunning as the ones in the previous episodes.
Diana and her husband meet on a school show, which is the cliché of divorced parents again. But at least they go to have a pizza at the end, which is light and lifelike. Plus, I was just listening to the episode on World Pizza Day, so the saliva in my mouth was just doubled.
In the second part of the episode we can hear a quickie, but this time not in the form of narratives as before, but with sounds, moans, sighs. It was rather hot and exciting. This is followed by a good old quarrel, a real drama, which is the strength of the show.
Anyone who longs for a happy ending will be disappointed here. The problems in Diana's life are not solved, they are transformed. Maybe the writers left the story open for a possible sequel, though I haven’t read any news about it yet. In any case, this audio drama describes the fate of a woman over forty stumbling among the scenery of sexual fantasies, it is something really worth listening to.
