Theatre of War segue a mesma safra de qualidade apresentada em “Love & War” e “Nightshade” entregando um enredo bem atrativo com uma narrativa consistente, muito solida, instigante e agradável de se ouvir. Adaptado pelo escritor original Justin Richards, Doctor, Benny e Ace são jogados em um planeta cuja vida é centrada em torno de um misterioso teatro que por meio de alguma invenção tecnológica reproduz várias peças teatrais famosas - No desenrolar da história, descobrimos que todo esse cenário é mais do que apenas encenações recriadas - Suas ruínas arquitetônicas ganham vida matando pessoas ao realizar cenas tridimensionais, é uma ideia fantástica deixando a imersão do áudio ainda mais incrível (destaque para os efeitos sonoros, muito atmosférico). Na primeira metade temos aquele divertido passeio padrão de Doctor Who, Ace e o Doctor correm pelos corredores do planeta Menaxus sendo surpreendidos com os fenômenos do local. Mesmo não apresentando a mesma qualidade da primeira parte, diferente de muitos eu gostei bastante da segunda metade. Benny entra em um sub-plot, se deparando com “Braxiatel” pelo que pesquisei é um importantíssimo personagem que se encontra em seus spin-offs, senti um melhor proveito da companion nesse áudio comparado com The Highest Science. Você deve estar imaginando o quão complexo Theatre of War parece ser, vai por mim, seu enredo e seus conceitos nunca se tornar confusos, é uma trip bem divertida e atmosférica.
