The Prisoner (audio story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Prisoner is an audio play in the Kaldor City series, written by Alan Stevens and Fiona Moore. It features an interrogation between Iago and Landerchild, whereby Iago attempts to convince his interrogator that they are both figments of something else's imagination.
Publisher's summary
"I see your problem. It's a matter of faith."
When Kaston Iago is discovered wandering around the grounds of Landerchild's family estate, it looks like a simple case of political espionage. But is everything quite what it seems-- and who is really in control of the situation?
Set in the Kaldor City universe, "The Prisoner" explores the themes and ideas set forth in earlier CDs to explore the true relationship of Iago to his fellow citizens.

Notes
- This story was released as part of an MJTV Productions CD, The Actor Speaks: Paul Darrow, which featured an interview and several short stories unrelated to the Kaldor City series.
- The title points the audience to the writers' love of the ATV series The Prisoner, and whilst it also suggests that (like that TV series) the main theme of the Kaldor City series may be the nature of reality and fiction, it also suggests (again, like the TV series) that definite answers may not be forthcoming.
- At the conclusion of the story, both characters are seemingly aware they are part of a fiction. This is supported by AUDIO: Metafiction in which both stories feature characters seemingly aware they are part of a fictional world.
