Calificaciones: 3 de 5 de 1 votos Categorías: Drama & Poetry, Classic Drama Resumen del editor: Molière (1622-1673)Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (nombre real de Molière), nació el 15 de enero de 1622 en París (Francia). Hijo de un acaudalado tapicero real llamado Jean Poquelin y de Marie Cressé. Estudia con los jesuitas en Clermont y en 1642 se licencia en Derecho por la Universidad de Orleans, tras lo cual comienza una carrera como actor y autor teatral. En 1643 conoce a la actriz Madeleine Béjart. Junto a Madeleine funda y dirige la compañía teatral LIllustre Theatre, en ese momento adopta el apelativo de Molière, especialmente para no ser identificado con su familia, disconforme con la elección profesional de su hijo. En 1662 contrae matrimonio con la actriz Armande Bejart, la hermana de Madeleine, que era veinte años menor que Molière. Sus comedias se convirtieron en un éxito de público. El 17 de febrero de 1673, mientras Molière está interpretando la obra "El enfermo imaginario", comienza a sentirse indispuesto, lo trasladan rápidamente a su hogar, pero fallece de hemoptisis casi en el acto. En el momento de su actuación, iba vestido de amarillo, color maldito a partir de ese momento para los intérpretes teatrales. El Enfermo Imaginario Argán es prisionero de sí mismo. El terror a la muerte y el miedo a enfrentarse a la vida le tienen encadenado a su propio lecho, nada le importa, ni su familia, ni su mujer; es una persona cegada y egoísta, a la vez víctima y verdugo. Tan solo la astucia de Toñita, la criada, auténtico motor de la acción hará posible un desenlace donde triunfe el amor y queden en evidencia los intereses de las malas personas.

Members Reviews: A fun escape to a different place in time I am a fan of Downton Abbey, and find this to be similar in genre. Granted, it is to some degree a glorified soup opera, yet it is engaging, fun and an enjoyable period in time in which to regularly visit. I like the acting and pacing. Colonial Radio is a world class audio drama producer, and it shows here. Beware We were really enjoying the story as we got into all the characters. We couldn't wait to hear another chapter to see what was happening until two of the boys started to kiss and one asked one to come to his room tonight. Really getting very tired of the homosexual agenda being pushed everywhere. I will stick to Powder River and Ticonderoga....great stories! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Photograph-51-Audiobook/B006BBH3NE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It seems much of it sounds studio recorded with audience reaction dubbed in later as some of the acting sounds contrived and lacks energy.

Members Reviews: Cool I just finished staring in the Pasadena Collage production of this play a couple of months ago and it sold out a couple of nights and the house was at 60% or more filled during it's 2 week run. The tv sitcom i was more mixed than the play and only vanish after 13 eps. This is a cool play and filled with everyday characters trying to survive a day in Baltimore. Five Stars splendid FUNNY THOUGHTFUL ENSEMBLE The letter 'E' is burned out on the neon lighted lettering of the aging, scheduled to close Hotel Baltimore and the assorted low income residents and workers are going through their daily routine while the wrecking ball looms nearby. This urban themed play about the network of support these city dwellers have built for one another is poignant and comically abrasive, very 70sish, and while all the themes don't quite mesh, it is a successful character ensemble of psychological survival at the lower end of the social scale. The basis for a short-lived ABC-TV sitcom from the 1970s. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Easter-Rising-The-Last-Words-of-Patrick-Pearse-Audiobook/B01D2AY3UW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Perhaps better known to most as the 1956 movie adaptation with Marilyn Monroe. To say that it has not aged well is perhaps a bit unfair, but the naivité and '50s mores is distracting. I have listened to other L.A Theatre Works plays. They were usually good productions. This however suffers a bit from the "too speedy line delivery syndrome". (I made that up). I.e. the actors getting their lines in too fast, instead of reacting to what is said before. Gets better in the final act though. The audience is strangely quiet until the end of act three, where some laughs are heard. I actually thought it was a studio production in the beginning. Final word: Not bad, but entirely missable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Are-You-Now-or-Have-You-Ever-Been-Audiobook/B01AYGQTLI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Chilling Reminder Though I had read Eric Bentley's compilation of the HUAC hearings ("Thirty Years of Treason"), it was not as chilling as this dramatic reenactment of some of the more intriguing testimony. I wish it were on a CD instead of an audio tape, however. Are you now or have you ever been? Spy's? History? Real life? What could be better?

Pretty bad, right? This is that bad. The vast majority of the lines by Scalia are contrary to his well-documented positions and the basic rules for Originalism. Just YouTube one of his lectures! The author creates a strawman that can easily be knocked down by misattributing positions and motivation. Kinda like how Coulter discusses Obama. The young, liberal law clerk who challenges Scalia at every step is written as the most sympathetic character, in contrast to the Evil Scalia. It's stunningly bad. But the last 30 minutes is an interview with former clerks, and it dispels and undoes everything the play attempts to do; namely, dishonestly portraying the basic rules for Originalism and the judges who follow it still (it used to be orthodoxy as the way to ensure an enduring Constitution and democracy). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Real-George-Orwell-Loving-Audiobook/B00BFF40Y6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

An acclaimed author and political commentator, Orwell is very hard to pin down.

He was as anti-fascist as he was anti-communist, a former Spanish Civil War soldier who was anti-war but pro the Second World War.

Members Reviews: beautifully written, beautifully performed. I doubt I share a single political opinion with Orwell, although it's interesting to speculate where he'd have landed had he lived longer. But I bow to no one in my admiration of the man, for his courage, consistency and above all the crystalline clarity of his writing. This piece, and its companions (Burma, Dreaming, Jura etc.) present Orwell "warts and all". He's no plaster saint. In particular, his behavior to the women in his life was inexcusably awful. Notwithstanding that, these pieces give an insight into - as the title suggests - the "Real Orwell". They take you beyond a dry , academic view of his writing and thought to think of the vulnerabilities that formed him. There's not a bad performance in this series. Having said that, the actors performing George Klopp and Eileen Blair/Orwell/O'Shaughnessy deserve particular congratulation - in the latter case, it's easy to appreciate the warmth that an austere character like Orwell would have loved. A must for any admirer of Orwell's work, and an invaluable insight into one of the 20th century's great personalities. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Relativity-Audiobook/B0036I8XFC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: A Chekhovian comedy from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lillian Hellman about the sad and funny frailties of human existence. As the summer of 1949 draws to a close, a group of middle-aged friends are gathering for their annual retreat at a genteel Southern resort. An acquaintance from the past thrusts himself into the yearly gathering, forcing them to re-examine their mundane yet seemingly idyllic existence, the opportunities theyve lost, and the lives that have passed them by. Editorial Reviews: L.A. Theatre Works again scores solidly with this stellar audio production of a wonderful play by Lillian Hellman. This audio boasts famed actress Julie Harris, who leads a diverse cast that includes Gates McFadden, Glenne Headley, Mary Steenburgen, Eric Stoltz, and David Selby. The play is set at a Southern boardinghouse, where old friends gather to rediscover personal connections and rekindle lost relationships - only to find that they can't escape the choices of their past. The characterizations and accents are first-rate, with each actor using vocal energy and great dynamics to portray a complex character. The play, which moves along at a swift but comfortable pace, is an audio production well worth enjoying. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Lillian Hellman) Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:02:51 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Autumn-Garden-Audiobook/B0036I8XGQ thebookvoice.com 02:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What's great about it: The all-star cast, including Walter Matthau, Charles Durning, Ed Asner, and Hector Elizondo (Matthau's cast mate in one of my all-time favorite movies, the original 1970s version of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three). Also: This topic (Senate investigations /Congressional hearings /government corruption) is newly relevant. Democrats and Republicans alike will probably enjoy it. What's not so great: The script, by M*A*S*H creator Larry Gelbart, while cutesy-clever and chock full o' puns, is not truly laugh-out-loud funny. I actually found myself certain that if a laugh track (of the kind that unfortunately marred later seasons of M*A*S*H) was not employed in the making of this recording, and if this production was really performed before a live theater audience as claimed, then the audience HAD to have been prompted visually to laugh at practically every single line. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it overall and am glad Audible recommended it to me. Grade: B- or C+ Wordy, astonishing, laugh out loud funny If you like to relax, sit back, let a story breeze past your mind, smiling a distant smile every few minutes, stay away. This takes your entire mind. If you're driving, you will go over the curb. There are no two successive lines in Gelbart's play, that aren't funny. And if it fizzes out a little towards the end, it's because you are exhausted from all the wordplay, and from the pure radio presentation, that can't make up for it in stagecraft, than from any fault on the side of the writing. Prepare to be amazed, amused, and quoting it for years to come. Love it! Hysterical I was laughing out most of the time. You will have to know something about politics. On the bright side, if you only started following D.C., with the inauguration in 2017, you will understand this hysterical play! Entertaining!!! Would you consider the audio edition of Mastergate to be better than the print version? I have not read a printed version, but the audiobook is excellent. What did you like best about this story? Humerous and entertaining. Which character as performed by the narrators was your favorite? No favorite character. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/On-the-Waterfront-Audiobook/B002UUG20U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: On the Waterfront Author: Budd Schulberg Narrator: Rebecca Pidgeon, Hector Elizondo, Bruce Davison, Jeffrey Donovan Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 04-28-04 Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Terry Malloy, the "seemingly soulless street survivor," unwittingly lures a rebellious longshoreman to his death in Budd Schulberg's searing drama about the New York waterfront, the racketeering unions controlling it, and the kid who "coulda been a contender." (P)2004 L.A. Theatre Works Editorial Reviews: The 1954 film about conscience and courage in corrupt labor unions has deservedly attained mythic status, but it is to the credit of this fine production that eventually one begins to think less of the classic movie and to become quite absorbed in this adaptation. The strongest performances are those by Bruce Davison (as the priest), whose thrilling dockside sermon brings applause from the audience; Rebecca Pidgeon, who emphasizes Edie Doyle's intelligence as much as her vulnerability; and Hector Elizondo, who makes racketeer Johnny Friendly into a believable and lethal thug. Jeffrey Donovan plays Terry Malloy, the ex-prize-fighter in love with Edie. He is at his best in Terry's later scenes of conviction. The sound effects are rich and evocative. Critic Reviews: "It is to the credit of this fine production that eventually one begins to think less of the classic movie and to become quite absorbed in this adaptation...The sound effects are rich and evocative."

George Orwell - the pen name of Eric Blair - was a writer and political commentator who is very hard to pin down. He is a complex mass of confusions - an anti-establishment, pro-English, ex-Etonian ex-policeman, and socialist, who was ardently anti-authoritarian. He was as anti-fascist as he was anti-communist, a former Spanish Civil War soldier who was anti-war but pro the Second World War. This is the second in a series of four BBC Radio full-cast dramas exploring the disjuncture between the man who was Eric Blair and the writer who was George Orwell. Written by Mike Walker.

As the remaining musicians take a chance on gifted but inexperienced Grace, the cast of actors, which includes Jonathan Adams and Jere Burns, draws a line as taut as a violin string between tension and humor.

Members Reviews: At least give the title of the plays This is a decent collection of 1 act plays by Mamet however the titles where not given so you had to guess when plays started/ended. If you like Mamet you will like these plays but it would have been nice if they at least told us what we were listening too. WHAT GIVES ! ! ! 3 plays, with varying results Of the three plays, THE SHAWL is a standout. Intriguing, well-acted. REUNION is also finely performed, although more of a character piece. BOBBY GOULD IN HELL has some fun moments, but it feels a bit trite and tossed-off. Not a bad bargain, though. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Biloxi-Blues-Audiobook/B002V01E0M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works Editorial Reviews: Capturing a youthful 1940s-sounding innocence and using the pace and timing of classic comedy, Josh Radnor How I Met Your Mother leads a crack ensemble cast marching through basic training in the heart of Dixie during WWII in this second part of Neil Simon's uproarious autobiographical trilogy (caught between Brighton Beach Memoirs and Broadway Bound). Radnor is exceptional at breaking the fourth wall and turning directly to the audience to deliver Eugene Jerome's droll narrative asides, while Steve Rankin and Justine Bateman provide honest depth and heartache as the menacing drill sergeant and the Mississippi-accented prostitute with a heart of gold.

Members Reviews: Three unforgettable plays by renown playwright Vlad Zografi If you're looking for a really good read, this is it! Renown for his plays depicting the socio-cultural context of modern society after the fall of Communism, popular playwright Vlad Zografi invites readers to consider contemporary theatre from multiple and mutually enriching and dramatic perspectives. The brilliance of his plays reflect a liberated and live theatre in which readers are drawn into the sentiments and obsessions of characters as diverse as a nameless and bare-footed leper, Russian Czar Peter the Great on a visit to the court of France, and, a young Oedipus enthralled by Pythia at Delphi. Vlad Zografi earned his Ph.D. in Atomic Physics from the University of Paris-Sud, Orsay. He made his literary debut in l990 with a story in the prestiges Romania Literara and has been receiving rave reviews since. Considered one of the most popular playwrights of his time, Vlad Zografi's unforgettable plays have been staged around the world. This volume is the first publication of Vlad Zografi's plays to appear in English. Ileana Alexandra Orlich is professor of English and Comparative Literature and Director of the Romanian Studies Program at Arizona State University. She has a degree in English and American Studies from the University of Bucharest and a doctorate in English and Comparative Literature from Arizona State University. In addition to many translated books, she has published numerous scholarly articles in national and international journals and edited volumes. She is a Fulbright scholar and a recipient of the prestiges National Endowments for the Arts Fellowship Award for literary translation and various European grants for her work in Romanian Studies and comparative literature. In 2010, she was appointed Romania's Honorary Consul General in Arizona. Finally! An English translation of Vlad Zografi worth reading! I was thrilled to discover this excellent English translation of Zografi's Kiss Me: Confessions of a Bare-footed Leper. The translation by Orlich is even better than I had imagined and really makes me hope to see the plays produced in the US with this outstanding English interpretation. Additionally, the three accompanying essays are definitely worth reading for American audiences who may not be familiar with the plays. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Crumbs-from-the-Table-of-Joy-Audiobook/B005IZZPRU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Now a time capsule piece and good I had come back from living abroad when Some Americans Abroad came out and I really wanted to see it performed. Sadly, it didn't play anywhere near where I was living. Finally picking up the text I got to enjoy it. The play is deeply set in the mid to late 1980s political and social focal points of the time it was written. If thinking of this as a time piece it rather works, but misses some of the lead ins and background a period piece could need. What was enjoyable is the characters that ring so true from living abroad and various perspectives of those living abroad. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Paris-Letter-Dramatization-Audiobook/B002V5CRRQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: All encompassing Loved this and NPH/Josh Radnor was an amazing mesh in character relationships............one of those plays that just completely engulfs you. A tale of self-deception and consequences What made the experience of listening to The Paris Letter (Dramatization) the most enjoyable? This was the first play of Jon Robin Baits I have listened to so far and it was touching and thought-provoking. The plot encompasses several decades and characters, but is easy to follow. The story remained on my mind for days after. Each actor delivered a wonderful performance! Which character as performed by the narrators was your favorite? I especially liked Anton, the narrator of the story. There was an unapologetic quality to him, a man who knows who he is and remains true to himself. He manages to remain involved and somewhat objective at the same time. John Glover is one of my favourite actors and he was as moving as always. Any additional comments? I am looking forward to listening to other plays by this author. I have seen his TV creation, the drama Brothers And Sisters, and now I value him as a playwright as well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/An-American-Daughter-Audiobook/B002UZJJCI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a strong political play from the late 90s - much still rings true 4.5 stars This is an excellent political play. It is the late 90s. President Clinton is in office (although he isn't referred to by name, it's him - all of the other politicians mentioned are fictional, but they fit in traditional roles). Dr. Lyssa Dent Hughes is a 42 year old wonder woman who has been nominated for Surgeon General (the President's first choice didn't make it through the confirmation process). Dr. Hughes is married to a well known liberal professor and she is the daughter of a conservative Senator from Indiana. There are a few other characters in the play that add to the salon of intellectuals. Dr. Hughes's nomination is thrown into turmoil when a small incident from her past comes to light. The whole play is very well handled. The dialogue is very good. EXCELLENT. This play is more timely now than when ... EXCELLENT. This play is more timely now than when originally written and produced. It concerns a woman in process of being appointed to an important government job by the president of the United States, and the scandal that occurs in the process. It is a comedy and it has many characters, maybe too many. The fact that it has many characters makes it easier to understand when you actually see the play in a production. Five Stars Great book at a perfect price. I loved the story and the material of the cover is soft and easy to use. Four Stars Great play! RIP Wendy. "They tear you apart because they are jealous or disappointed. Or worse--just because they have nothing better to do." When Lyssa Dent Hughes, a widely respected physician, is nominated for United States Surgeon General, it looks as if she is a shoo-in to be confirmed. Fifth generation granddaughter of Ulysses S. Grant, daughter of a conservative Indiana senator, wife of a respected Georgetown professor, and tireless pioneer for women's health issues, Lyssa is looking forward to her opportunity to make a difference on a larger scale. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Actor-Retires-Audiobook/B002V9Z0IU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

An Actor Retires is great fun for anyone who knows people in the theater. The angst an actor puts himself through is shown in several hilarious vignettes. All the acting in this work is first-rate, and the leading man is superbly funny. My only quibble is that this is really an one-act play, so it goes by very quickly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Alan-Bennett-Audiobook/B002V5CQV8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A very English voice As always Alan Bennett's dramatic output provides suberb entertainment. I especially liked Alan Bennet playing a rather fusty headmaster in 'Forty Year's On' and Michael Gambon playing camping it up as Guy Burgess in 'An Englishman Abroad'. I am not sure however that this very English humour goes down well across the atlantic, though the History Boys is now on Broadway, I understand. Three first class plays The first play in the recording, Kafka's Dick, is good, but Forty Years On and An Englishman Abroad are superb. Excellent delivery by the actors, funny and affecting ? Alan Bennett at his best. My only quibble is that I'd like the plays to be down-loaded separately for ease of finding the starting place for the second and third plays. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/In-the-Great-Together-One-Act-Plays-Audiobook/B078H5Z8T9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: In the Great Together: One-Act Plays Author: Seth Alan Barkas Narrator: Lynn Carnefix Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-17 Publisher: Hannacroix Creek Books, inc. Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Seth Alan Barkas was a film critic for Baltimore Magazine when he died, as well as a freelance theater reviewer for one of the two leading theater newspapers at the time. At the age of 23, on his way home from reviewing an off-Broadway play, he was attacked. These four unique plays are the work of an aspiring, talented playwright whose career was tragically cut short by his death following a senseless mugging. Each of the one-act plays collected in In the Great Together resonates with sharp, memorable dialogue and diverse and powerful themes, plots, and characters. "Maximilian" takes place in 1867 in a prison cell the night before the execution of Maximilian, the former Emperor of Mexico. A fellow aristocrat, smuggled into the prison as a stable boy, tries to talk his friend into leaving Mexico and returning to Austria, rather than be executed. "Cry of the Boy", a more existential drama, delves into the everyday life of a 17-year-old boy and his relationship with his mother and father. "The Devil and Don Quixote" is an original application of the classic Cervantes tale to the story of Don Quixote, a man who has just escaped from an old age home aided by his former attendant, Sancho. "Scorpio" explores the relationship between a 20-year-old woman, named Tom, and Stanley, a 19-year-old who wanders into Tom's apartment as he goes door to door in a Bronx apartment building, selling merchandise made by the blind. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Seth Alan Barkas) Tue, 19 Dec 2017 11:52:40 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/In-the-Great-Together-One-Act-Plays-Audiobook/B078H5Z8T9 thebookvoice.com 03:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: "Hate the Sin, Never the Sinner" After reading this play, I must question why there has not been an attempt to bring this work into the mainstream theatre or even movies. Despite Logan's modesty, this is a compelling and well written work about one of the most shocking crimes in history. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were teenage millionaires that had everything. Both men were highly intelligent college students with a lot of potential. They believed they were such "Ubermensch" or supermen that they could get away with anything, even murder. In the end, they realize that they are not superman, but flawed individuals. Throughout the development of this play we see the shift in the power of their relationship which is based on a "Homosexual Pact". While Loeb originally is dominant in the relationship, Leopold seems to take the lead once they are on trial. Perhaps this is due to Loeb coming to the realization that he is not a superman. This "love story" is based on fact and gives us some insight into how these young minds that went sour. However, we will never know the full story. Clarence Darrow is documented in the writting. His character's beliefs are a reflection of what history has recorded about Darrow. He was a fiesty and wise lawyer that opposed the death penalty. Truly, he is a role model for contemporary lawyers. This book is an excellent read for a short car trip or plane flight. It is short, but very entertaining and gets to the point. Never, but Always In John Logan's moving yet horrifying "Never the Sinner" we meet two infamous killers, and the mystic, mythic figure that chose to defend these two.

Editorial Reviews: Peter Ackerman's bedroom farce is a well-recorded over-the-top observation on modern sexuality. The cast of characters includes three sets of lovers - gay, straight, and other, who sort through their hang-ups and turn-ons in a sassy, sexy free-for-all. The acting ranges from vanilla to tutti-frutti, but all concerned, including the audience, seem to have agreed to simply enjoy the ride.

(The New York Times) Members Reviews: Well worth a listen. This is not a great play, but it is quite entertaining, and the six actors are skilled at keeping you going in an audio medium. Like many farces, it loses some steam during the second half, when the absurdity begins to sound a little desperate, but it is constantly funny and you find yourself liking the characters, despite (or because of?) their considerable oddness. At any rate, I enjoyed it and will listen to the first half several more times. Overall, a very good audio production. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Man-Who-Had-All-the-Luck-Audiobook/B002UZNE06 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Man Who Had All the Luck Author: Arthur Miller Narrator: uncredited Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 05-07-08 Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Features an exclusive discussion with Director and Profession of Theatre at UCLA's School of Theatre, Film, and TV Michael Hackett. Editorial Reviews: In Miller's very first play, life gives a young man just what he needs and wants - a wife and property, a thriving motor repair business, a son. But it all drives him distracted as he waits for the misfortune he perceives to be inevitable. Those around him, some of them tragically luckless, react in ways supportive and not. The play is a somewhat uneasy mix of comedy and drama, realism and fable, Miller and Thornton Wilder. It's an interesting and engaging work nevertheless. While there are few moments of great dramatic excitement, there are also no flaws. Pacing is good, and every cast member is solid, capable, and professional. While this production will especially intrigue Miller aficionados, it should interest any listener. Critic Reviews: "A bonified buried treasure."

Theatre Works Members Reviews: Simply wonderful in every way. If you could sum up Shadowlands (Dramatized) in three words, what would they be? A beautiful, tragic, stirring, powerful story performed flawlessly. The cast truly brought this incredible story to life in a way I never imagined. So glad I found this! What does Full Cast bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The delivery is perfect--so much life. So much joy in the midst of a heartbreaking time. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Sure! I don't get it It being why this play gets such great reviews. It's not bad, but among the LATheatreworks productions, it's far from my favorite. CS Lewis, after being the author of Narnia, is best known for his Christian apologetics. Specifically, he's known as "the apostle to the skpetics" because his work reached out directly to modern skeptical audiences. Real religious scholars though, it's my understanding, tend to dismiss Lewis' religious writings as unoriginal and dull. As a skeptic who's read a few of Lewis' shorter pieces on Christianity and generally found them, well, unoriginal and dull, but who has skeptic friends who have found Lewis' works absolutely captivating, I was hoping this play might finally explain to me what it is others see in the guy. Well, not so much. I tend to think the appeal of Lewis is that he delivers the same old banal answers in a high-falutin English accent (and, in print, tone), which makes people feel safe and smart endorsing ideas they'd be embarrassed accepting if they came out of the mouth of a Southern born-again preacher. This play did not shake that conviction. At it's core, it's a pretty standard romance between Lewis and an American woman, Joy, who begins corresponding with him about his religious writing, and then visits England to meet him. There's a forbidden-love angle coming out of the fact that she's divorced, and so his religious beliefs at first preclude him from courting her despite their deep attraction; and a doomed-love angle coming out of her eventual battle with cancer. The appeal, I think, is that here's this deeply religious man, who must overcome his religious convictions to be with the woman he loves and connected with first over religion. We're supposed to be moved by a deep personal struggle to overcome, even if it's actually just overcoming self-imposed limitations which, by virtue of their being overcome, are thereby rendered somewhat meaningless since they were self-imposed in the first place. The play considers the connection between religion and romantic love, but frankly doesn't consider it very deeply. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/She-Stoops-to-Conquer-Audiobook/B005FHIGJK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Maybe Not Fugard's Best While the first half of this play is as all-consuming and absorbing as Fugard's best, the second half is not. All of a sudden (right around the crisis point, as Helen is forced to choose between giving in to the wishes of church and town authorities and entering an old age home, and remaining true to herself and her artistic vision, and hanging on to her rapidly fading independence), the listener is abruptly yanked out of the theatrical illusion and becomes acutely aware that s/he is merely sitting through a theme-crowded third act. I think if Fugard had not tried to cram in almost every possible theme--from romantic love, to religion and spirituality, to senility, suicide and the nature of madness, to art versus profanity, to the consequences of everything from abortion and adultery to apartheid and angels--I would have remained transfixed until the final words of the play. As it is, however, I can only rate this production so highly because of the exceptional production values and the knockout performances by lead actors Julie Harris and the unfailingly incandescent Amy Irving. Because of them, I consider this a credit well spent, and will likely listen again. What plays are supposed to be for Superb. I had only known Master Harold & the Boys. And the performances are truly riveting. Just WOW Totally blown away. I laughed and cried. This book give you so much to think about now I want to go out and find my own Mecca. Deep, meaningful work of art, marred slightly... Deep, meaningful and moving work of art, but marred slightly by a week ending, which felt a bit like a soap opera. The performance was good, but the accents were slightly unsatisfactory. But for the above detractions, I loved it, and would highly recommend it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Night-Watcher-Audiobook/B00ICSEILO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The cast is fabulous and the quality is what you'd expect from a BBC production. It is a shame that it's abridged but you cannot have everything. Plus, it's always great to hear Tom Baker! Buy it! love this book, and the film loved this book. it's a true classic of mine, loved the film as well. Great Brilliant I just live these old style war thrillers, some great 'non-pc' lines and such a devil may care attitude. Yes it's a thriller but it's incredibly relaxing to listen to. cracking yarn set at the advent of WW1 . Top notch performances by all the cast , I really got into the story , it is John Buchan's finest novel set with a lucid imagined picture drawn by this excellent production . I thoroughly recommend this version . Enjoyable and Different Enjoyed this different take in the Thirty Nine Steps starring good old Dr Who Tom Baker as usual loud and striking. No matter what it is Baker acts, he steals the show. Excellent full cast and one to listen to many times. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/You-Never-Can-Tell-Audiobook/B014VPON20 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A comedy of love requited and unrequited, unknown identities, family mishaps and conflicts, and diverse character personalities. It is an intellectual text with many old English spellings with older language and larger words. This review has more to do with the layout of the text and the book than the play itself. The formatting is poor. The dialogue is lumped together under their names yes, but no space in-between lines, no margins, strange occasional gaps at the bottom of pages to, I guess, keep there from being any "CHARACTER cont." Overlapping/Shared lines are unreadable and confusing. Maybe this is the way Shaw wrote it, but I doubt it. Check out the attached photo. There are no page numbers. Zero information outside of the text of the play (no history, no previous production info, no publishing information). Buy the play, but not this print. Transcription not in the same class. It would be presumptuous to rate Shaw. The rating relates to the transcription into e-format, which is not up to the quality of the play. 20th century courtship thru 21rst century eyes If you're wondering where the foibles of most of the romantic comedy characters churned out by hollywood come from... it's right here. A delightful story with interesting characters This four act play is delightful. A woman comes back to England from Madeira with three children, young unsophisticated and playful twins who speak without restraint, before the thought enters their minds, and a young, but older daughter of marriageable age. The time is the late 1800s. The woman is a prototype of the emancipated woman who raises her children accordingly. She writes books on how a 21st century woman should behave. She has told her children nothing about their father, who he is and why he is not present. In the play, the children meet their father who is a very rich grouch. Neither the father nor mother want to resume relations after an eighteen-year separation. The older daughter meets a penniless dentist who falls madly in love with her and, as usual, she is not interested in him. There are also several other interesting and humorous characters, including a waiter, his son who is a barrister, and an old solicitor friend of the mother. Five Stars Delighted to have it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Williams-Leap-for-Freedom-Dramatized-Audiobook/B004ZGRW1U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The trial, in a small-town Tennessee courtroom in 1925, set the stage for ongoing debates over the separation of Church and State in a democratic society - debates that continue to this day. An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Edward Asner, Bill Brochtrup, Kyle Colerider-Krugh, Matthew Patrick Davis, John de Lancie, James Gleason, Harry Groener, Jerry Hardin, Geoffrey Lower, Marnie Mosiman and Kenneth Alan Williams. The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial is part of L.A. Theatre Works Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Major funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P.

Editorial Reviews: The 1925 trial of science teacher John Scopes was a defining moment in the debate over evolution and creation and the source of some of America's finest literature and theater. This new theatrical production compares favorably with its esteemed predecessors. With Sharon Gless narrating and providing detailed historical background, the production aims to be historically accurate. At the forefront is Ed Asner, who brings out William Jennings Bryant's passionate belief in the Bible in a style reminiscent of Fredric March's in Inherit the Wind. Similarly superb is Jerry Hardin who, as Judge John Ralston, valiantly attempts to maintain order while trying to ensure that Scopes is convicted. Because there are no recordings of the actual trial, this production is certainly the next best thing. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Peter Goodchild) Thu, 02 Nov 2006 10:17:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Great-Tennessee-Monkey-Trial-Audiobook/B002V8KZX6 thebookvoice.com 01:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

With Sharon Gless narrating and providing detailed historical background, the production aims to be historically accurate. At the forefront is Ed Asner, who brings out William Jennings Bryant's passionate belief in the Bible in a style reminiscent of Fredric March's in Inherit the Wind. Similarly superb is Jerry Hardin who, as Judge John Ralston, valiantly attempts to maintain order while trying to ensure that Scopes is convicted. Because there are no recordings of the actual trial, this production is certainly the next best thing. Members Reviews: Listening to a bit of history This is a play that is a reenactment of the Scopes trial. In this trial, Mr. Scopes was accused of teaching evolution in a Tenn. school which was against the state law. This was a 'trumped up' case by the ACLU to have a public forum on this topic. The crime was a misdemeanor and the fine was a maximum of $100 but the topic brought two of the most famous and thoughtful men of the time, William Jennings Bryant for the prosecution and Clarence Darrow for the defense. Both men offered their services for free so that they may express their views. It was also the first trial that was broadcast by radio. I found the background of the trial fascinating and the courtroom eloquence and humor of all the lawyers is inspiring and entertaining. As this topic is still just as unsettled as it was then, the cases made by both sides are still relevant. As this was play, the actors are excellent and the 'readings' are far better than usually found in audiobooks. Regardless of your stance on this topic, I believe that you will find the book well worth the time. My only criticism is that it ended too quickly. An excellent listen for a plane ride. A vivid retelling of the first trial of the century. The Scopes monkey trial in 1925. Set the floor the battle over evolution which is still fought over today. A quick listen and very enjoyable. Well done. If not spectacular. The story you know, told better by Inherit the Wind. Purists will point to the authenticity and accuracy of this version, but the truth is duller than fiction. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Light-Up-the-Sky-Audiobook/B0043GF2VY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Audio Glitches Is there anything you would change about this book? I downloaded the high quality version and the recording has quite a few audio glitches. I missed about 10 minutes of the book in total from the various screeches and squeals that make this sound like I'm listening on a radio and went out of range. How could the performance have been better? The performance fills a bit over the top. I'm sure it is well suited for a live theater performance but this book could really benefit from being recorded specifically for the audio book environment. Was Make and Break worth the listening time? Yes and no, I found the story mildly entertaining but it didn't really draw me in. The audio glitches were very distracting. Any additional comments? Going to use the audible guarantee on this one, wasn't worth purchasing. Mildly entertaining but forgettable Any additional comments? Not one of Frayn's best. Although he is known for his plays I prefer his novels. Here, the best thing was the performance but even that scored only 4 stars for me because it felt too much like a recording of a live theatre performance. The audience response was distracting and at times I felt that there was action on the stage that I was missing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Breaking-the-Code-Audiobook/B002V0PSH2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

May not have been able to follow it if I hadn't seen the movie as it "time jumped". The Nazi Enigma Code & Social Codes of World War 2 England This drama revels a man who was not, in many ways, a regular guy. Math Genius, Alan Mathison Turing was able to break the Nazi Enigma Code for the British government. Mr. Turing saw no need to live a lie. Against his Supervisor's & his Mother's advice, Alan accepts in himself what society will not. This story is sprinkled with early computer development. "Breaking the Code" is a view in the difficulties of a gay man in the mid-twentith century England. When Alan incurs a home robbery, the police did not seek the thief. Law enforcement incarcerated Turing for being a homosexual, leaving the theft unsolved. Facts related, but not in this play: 1. On 10 September 2009, Alan M. Turing was one of five people ever to receive an apology from the UK Government for the injustice received under British Law. 2. Since 1986 the annual "A. M. Turing Award" is given by Stanford University. The Turing Award is computer science 'Noble' equivalent. 3. March 2012, Historian George Dyson's newest book, "Turing's Cathedral" is set to be released. Five Stars An excellent adaptation of Andrew Hodges' book A good read and a good show Whitemore's play, for a reader, is a quick and easy way to learn about Alan Turing, code breaking during WWII and ``gross indecency'' law enforcement in mid-20th Century England. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Synergy-Audiobook/B01N3MFQ30 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Yes, it is a great exploration of family relationships under tough circumstances. Who was your favorite character and why? Mary Steenburgen nailed "Bessie." The performance was absolutely professional and top notch. What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Professionals know how to develop their characters with voice. They all did a great job. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Together-Tonight-Audiobook/B06XK19PN3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is the question posed by Karl Marx in Howard Zinns witty and insightful play on history. The premise of this one-man performance is that historys most famous, and oft-misrepresented, radical is resurrected after agitating with the authorities of the afterlife to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, however, Marx lands in modern-day Soho, New York, rather than his old stomping grounds in London, to make his case. Critic Reviews: [Zinn] mounts a clarion defense of the principles of Marxism while taking a timely jab at a consumerist culture run amok. A witty and spontaneous mouthpiece, Jones invests his character with a surprising degree of urbanity and savoir-faire. (Los Angeles Times) Brian Jones deserves the highest marx. Find out how Karl Marx lived, what he thought, and what he might think today. Hilarious and informative. A superb performance. (Amy Goodman) "Smart. Funny. Perfect for the times in which we live."

(Michael Moore) Members Reviews: Wonderful Play I saw this play in Dublin with my girlfriend, and she was really moved by the humanity of the character. She was touched by how the character was always referring to the women that surrounded him - his wife, daughter. I am delighted to find this recording here at audible, so I can remember once more the emotion to feel Karl Marx in front of me, sitting there, talking about the contemporary world. Of course, as an audio, we are missing the facial and body expression of this actor, and we know how this is important to keep a monologue interesting. My girlfriend, different to me, never read any of Marx's books, and after the play started to read not only Marx, but communist literature, like Howard Zinn, Saramago, and others. This play is fantastic, because I could witness Marx alive. Dull and disappointing Marx in Soho is a one-man show framed as an apologist talk by Karl Marx, who could not possibly have been so vain, tedious, selfish, loutish, and oblivious as this script makes him. If he were, then one can only say pity poor Mrs. Marx! Given communisms astonishing evolution since Marxs death, the idea of the play is a promising one, but in execution it is a theatrical dud--about as dramatic as reading a term paper. There is no action, no character transformation, no wit, and, most disappointing, no organized attempt to defend Marxist theory. If a plays whole point is to show that Marxisms failure in Russia was due solely to its being hijacked by a mad thug (Stalin), then the drama is to prove that case. Here, the play fails. In fact, it never even tries. Cuba and China are not mentioned, either to support or rebut the claim. None of the other Soviet leaders are discussed nor are any other Marxist figures or systems of the 20th Century. All the play does is decry capitalism and give examples of the plight of the poornot exactly demonstrating Marxs acknowledged powers of reasoning! Lacking conflict, confrontation, or change, the play is dull, dull, dull. Even the live audience musters only the slightest reaction, although Im sure they were trying to be supportive. Using historical figures to argue a political/social issue can be a brilliant theatrical technique, if done skillfully (see Inherit the Wind or, more recently, Frost/Nixon). But when plays in this vein are done clumsily, they can be very bad indeed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Three-Hotels-Audiobook/B00J27W89I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Three Hotels Worth Checking Into Three Hotels was originally commissioned as a production for public television. In its present form, it translates wonderfully to a tape-recorded performance. L.A. Theatre Works comes through once again with a selection of material that translates nicely to aural presentation. The piece could not be more capably brought to life than it is here with the actors who garnered acclaim in 1993's New York production. While the work itself had its detractors, Ron Rifkin and Christine Lahti were almost universally applauded for their acting. With this performance, they certainly repeat the need for superlatives and kudos. The play consists of three monologues delivered in three different hotel rooms. The first monologue introduces Kenneth Hoyle, an executive in a company which profitably sells powdered milk formula to impoverished foreign nations. One of Ken's professional specialties is traveling the world in order to fire the workers who have been deemed by headquarters to be "dead wood." While he regrets the devastation his company's product has brought to Africa, he goes on doing his job. Monologue Two is delivered by Barbara, Ken's wife. (Is it coincidence that the appellations could be shortened to Ken and Barbie?) A woman who is no longer loyal to the company, Barbara weaves in and out of a speech she has recently delivered to the wives of young executives. Intended to be a helpful briefing about the hazards of foreign service, the talk turns from survival tips to a caustically honest and touching account of grief over her murdered child, a marriage ruined by loneliness and a spouse corrupted by corporate pressures. At the time of the third monologue (a letter dictated to his senile mother), Ken has returned to the inn where he and Barbara spent their honeymoon. As he waits in hope that his wife will come to him, he reflects on what he has lost. Delivering a sad rendition of a Yiddish lullaby, he comes to mourn the death of his son. With its focus on establishing both the businessman's character and his corporation's shady marketing of baby formula, I found the first monologue to be tough going. Although babies were being malnourished as a result of the company's actions, I felt detached from the piece. However, the exposition of Monologue One establishes the necessary foundation for the marvelous payoff of Monologues Two and Three. While continuing to address the inherent corruption and dehumanization of the business world, the piece takes on a more human dimension. Barbara and Kenneth, a couple of Peace Corps visionaries once dedicated to making the world a better place, become real people who may have lost each other as they lost their son and their ideals. Over the course of the short listen (just over an hour), the grief becomes genuine. Persist and persevere. I think you will be rewarded. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Ballad-of-Yachiyo-Audiobook/B002V57PCS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works; All Rights Reserved Members Reviews: Secrets in Everyone's Closet For those of us who like genealogy will adore this book about a relative whose existence was very secretive. Guilt and shame resulted in the death of Yachiyo. The author has ingrained the story with the attitudes and behavior of an older generation and the symbolized young woman who committed suicide. Breathtaking Breathtaking. That is the single word which best describes Gotanda's "Ballad of Yachiyo". The story is very moving and, while I normally have a hard time following play scripts, Gotanda's use of imagery really allows for the reader to visualize the performance every step of the way. Each detail to the description of the scenes and the actions of the characters drew me further and further into the story. I would love to see a performance of this play! Someone please bring it to Michigan :) life on the plantation Yachiyo is someone from a previous era whose life is very contemporary in many ways. Her struggle to assert herself and find her place in the world is constrained by her time, place, class and status as an immigrant woman. It's a bittersweet story that portrays some harsh realities about life in Hawaii in the early 20th century. Highly recommended. Breath-taking A must-read, even for those who don't normally read plays. He tells a beautiful and captivating story through an exquisitely choreographed dramatic work. My complimentary words cannot do justice to him - I will just say that, as an aspiring writer, he is someone I truly admire. through hawaiian eyes i love how this play tells the story of 1919 hawaii, through the playwrites family history. very beautiful and moving. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Astor-Nadia-La-rencontre-de-Astor-Piazzolla-et-Nadia-Boulanger-qui-a-change-le-tango-Audiobook/B078HHY4C2 Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> Titre: Astor & Nadia: La rencontre de Astor Piazzolla et Nadia Boulanger qui a changé le tango Sous-titre: Un certain regard sur le tango argentin t. 1 Auteur: Lazaro Droznes Narrateur: Linda Fitak Format: Unabridged Durée: 1 hr and 15 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 12-20-17 Éditeur: Unitexto LLC Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Résumé de l'éditeur: La pièce de théâtre raconte la rencontre à Paris entre Astor Piazzolla et le fameux maître de musique française, Nadia Boulanger. Astor commence les étudies avec Nadia, qui lui pose de questions de nature personnelle pour connaitre la personnalité de l'étudiant, pour elle si important comme les habilités techniques. Nadia encourage Astor à composer avec le cœur, à trouver une voix, un style qu'exprime ses vrais sentiments musicaux. Astor ne trouve pas le chemin à suivre. Nadia entraine a Astor avec rigueur dans l'exercice de la composition, les fugues et les contrepoints. Nadia demande d'écouter un de ses tangos. Astor se résiste, mais coincée par Nadia, il joue le tango Triunfal. Nadia reste fasciné par le tango d'Astor et lui dit que elle pense qui a écouté le vrai Piazzolla et que lui doit jamais abandonner cette musique. Astor a trouvé son Saint Graal. Une tempête de nouvelle créations se d'éclate. Astor fait utilisation de toutes ses techniques que finalement trouvent son cours. Tous les enseignements fructifient. Astor retrouve son être et avance avec sa musique. Il sera en Argentine ce qui Gershwin a été au Etats-Unis, Bela Bartok en Hongrie et Manuel de Falla a l'Espagne. Un nouveau tango est né. A conséquence du rencontre avec Nadia Boulanger Astor Piazzolla fit la paix avec le tango, accepta ses racines musicales et trouva sa propre voix pour renouveler ainsi la musique populaire argentine. A fur et mesure que le rapport entre Boulanger et Piazzolla se développe, tout les deux font de références aux œuvres de Astor qui sont joués par une orchestre sur scène et qu'illustrent la évolution musical de Piazzolla a travers le temps. Cette pièce est en somme, une réflexion sur la nature du processus de création, l'importance de trouver un style a soi et sur la importance de la découverte et auto acceptation comme condition d'être pour tous les artistes. Sans Nadia Boulanger, probablement, on n'aurait pas eu le Piazzolla innovateur qui est devenu un personnage de relevance mondial. Dans cette pièce la musique joue un rôle protagoniste au pair des outres personnages. Tous les changements dramatiques au cours le rapport entre Astor et Nadia ont un équivalent au niveau musical.

Editorial Reviews: In this bittersweet Broadway play, Jason Robards is Jacob Brackish, a tough high school music teacher who is dying at home. His advertisement for a housekeeper is answered by Katherine, a woman Jacob has forgotten he flunked several years before. Robards is superb as the crotchety Brackish; he brings listeners' sympathies close, then pushes them back with one rattling cough, one caustic line. With all the Southie sass of a true Bostonian, Ivey infuses both playful revenge and personal pain into the role of Katherine with a nearly flawless accent. This play is at once hilarious, touching and unforgettable. Members Reviews: Park Your Car in Harvard Yard: Starring Judith Ivey and Jason Robards I have really enjoyed listening to this. If you are a Jason Robards fan don't miss it. Judith Ivey was a new preformer for me and she was also escellent. A ï¿donï¿t missï¿ for fans of Judith Ivey or Jason Robards Jacob Brackish was once a demanding teacher of music appreciation and English literature. He is ill and (in his words) "as deaf as a haddock" when he unwittingly employs one of his former pupils as a live-in housekeeper. Although the timid Kathleen initially comes to the house seeking revenge for past failures, she may grow to appreciate both the great composers and the cranky old man in her care. In following the ups and downs of the relationship over the course of a year, the play includes some laugh-out-loud lines and situations. Listening to her repeat her performance, it is obvious why Judith Ivey was nominated for a Tony Award in the role in 1992. After one particularly anguished set of screams, one wonders how she still has vocal cords. For his part, Jason Robards allows the audience several opportunities to feel great compassion for what could have been a grating curmudgeon. I've listened to this play several times over 10 years In 10 years here I've heard this show repeated several times. Tonight I woke up, walked to the radio and turned it on -- There it was. PARK YOUR CAR IN HARVARD YARD. My unconscious has better sense than reviewers. With Jason Robards and Judith Ivey, this play moves me to tears each time I hear it. Don't rely on reviews. Listen to the whole play. Buy it if it suits you. Practically Inaudible This is a live recording very badly done. It is a strain to hear what the actors are saying and the audience laughter doesn't help. I am amazed that American audiences laugh so heartily at what is wry or wistful humour. In the large box is ONE tape, costing $19.95. I shall not be interested in LA Theatre Works' productions in the future. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Graduate-Audiobook/B005HYP6GC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Graduate Author: Terry Johnson, Charles Webb, Calder Willingham, Buck Henry Narrator: Kathleen Turner, Matthew Rhys, Linda Purl, Devon Sorvari, Jamison Jones, John Getz, Bruce Davison Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 08-19-11 Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: An American classic adapted for the stage, starring Kathleen Turner as Mrs. Robinson and Matthew Rhys as Benjamin Braddock. A fresh-faced college grad returns home, diploma in hand, to seek an answer to that age old question: Now what? Lacking any clear career path, he falls prey to the original cougar, the predatory Mrs. Robinson, wife of his father's business partner. But its Mrs. Robinsons daughter who captures his heart. Includes and interview with the star of The Graduate, screen legend Kathleen Turner. An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring: Kathleen Turner as Mrs. Robinson; Matthew Rhys as Benjamin Braddock; Bruce Davison as Mr. Braddock; John Getz as Mr. Robinson; Jamison Jones as Hotel Clerk and others; Devon Sorvari as Elaine Robinson; Linda Purl as Mrs. Braddock and others. Adapted for the stage by Terry Johnson, based on the novel by Charles Webb and the screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry. Directed by John Rubinstein. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, in December 2010. Editorial Reviews: It's impossible to listen to the L.A. Theatre Works production of this play and not envision the 1967 movie starring Dustin Hoffman. And that's not a bad thing, especially when the audio version features the whiskey-voiced Kathleen Turner stepping into the role of the original cougar, Mrs. Robinson. If anyone can make listeners forget Anne Bancroft, it's Turner. With a nod to Hoffman, Matthew Rhys plays Benjamin Braddock, a young college graduate trying to find his way in the world. His path gets complicated when he has an affair with Mrs. Robinson and then falls in love with her daughter, played by Devon Sorvari. The actors make the performance come to life, a play for the theater of the mind. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Terry Johnson) Fri, 19 Aug 2011 04:19:16 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Graduate-Audiobook/B005HYP6GC thebookvoice.com 01:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Couple of Bad Typos in the Kindle Version The Kindle version of The Graduate has a huge typo error at location 1957. There are two fragments without capitals at the beginning of the fragments. Clearly, there is something wrong because the two fragments make no sense. "his face." and "from the middle you stop crying." It would be wonderful if the publisher would fix those two flaws. Otherwise, it seems like a cult classic. Worth Reading I loved the movie of "The Graduate" so it was just a matter of time before I read the book. It's definitely worth reading, though from today's perspective it lacks the shock value of the 60s. Mrs. Robinson is coldly calculating, so not as likable as in the movie and Benjamin Braddock, the graduate, is much too gullible. The book is mostly dialogue and "What?" is used way too often. On the other hand, this is an interesting, must-read classic. Note: There are some typos and formatting errors in the eBook version, but those can be overlooked. Some books age better than others Read today, the main character comes across as a winy, self absorbed spoiled rich kid. But the book gives a snapshot into that difficult transition from the Eisenhower years to the more optimistic 60s. If nothing else, you see what a stellar job Nichols did in turning this into the film. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Long-Ago-and-Far-Away-Audiobook/B006YVPZEA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Some clunkers among the brilliance Disappointed! Expected more from the genius of David Ives. Seven menus was annoying and Words, words, words was a terrific conceit but went on way too long after the joke about writing monkeys was over. The quirky Philadelphia, the first, however, made it worth the pricetag. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Unexpected-Man-Audiobook/B005J0JXMM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works' performance of Yasmina Rezas The Unexpected Man. Translated by Christopher Hampton. Directed by Gordon House. Editorial Reviews: A man and a woman share a compartment on a European train. He's an embittered, aging author; she's a longtime fan of his work who recalls past sorrows and is afraid to read the maestro's latest book in his presence. The play mostly consists of internal monologues. David Suchet and Harriet Walter both have fine voices and are accomplished at varying their tone and pace to keep their soliloquies interesting. Suchet even argues with himself in two subtly varied voices. His resonant, deep voice is especially enjoyable. Despite the sedentary premise, the play generates suspense and moments of insight, amusement, and even joy. This is a small, intelligent gem, finely played, with more depth than one might expect.

This excellent Yasmina Reza play, brilliant translated by Christopher Hampton, is utterly engrossing. The premise is simple, two people (one man, one woman) sit in a carriage on a train trip through Europe. The play explores their thoughts as they travel, internal monologues assessing their lives, their loves, and each other. David Suchet's performance is marvelous - he is a performer who knows the power of radio drama, and Harriet Walter is equally enchanting.

Bright with the fireworks of rhetoric, wit, idealism, and outrage, the letters span 13 years (one of them spent in prison). In them Trumbo ponders life after prison, berates smug and cowardly producers, vouchsafes irreverent advice to his son at college on winning at poker and masturbating without guilt, and justifies his refusal in 1960 to grovel before studio bosses. The fine performances of the spoken text, delivered before a live audience, are intercut with vintage radio clips of famous stars (Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland, Robert Young) praising free speech and questioning the tactics of the House Un-American Activities Committee. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Christopher Trumbo) Fri, 30 Mar 2001 19:44:03 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Additional-Dialogue-Audiobook/B002V5CO7Y thebookvoice.com 01:25:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

While his fight for justice has been told time and time again, this book reveals why he was such a special talent. Hopefully the long form book will also be released. A True American These letters from Dalton Trumbo--read by his son--show the essence of the man and his belief in and willingness to sacrifice for, the freedoms guaranteed by our constitution. Trumbo's perserverence, humor, and refusal to buckle (under threat of imprisonment for refusing to answer questions from congressional committees) remains an inspiration to us all. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Golf-with-Alan-Shepard-Audiobook/B006YVQER2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Reality is stranger than fiction when seven 1960s radicals refuse to behave in Judge Julius Hoffman's courtroom. Based on actual trial transcripts and starring a cast of top Chicago actors, this play centers on events following the protests and riots during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Editorial Reviews: David Schwimmer (Friends) and George Murdock (Barney Miller, Battlestar Gallactica, Star Trek) head the L.A.

(The Sunday Times of London) "A brilliant reconstruction of the bizarre trial." (The Sunday Telegraph) Members Reviews: Outstanding work that gives a sense of the time This 2-hour abridgement of the run-up to the Chicago-7 trial & pieces of the trial transcript is an outstanding work of theatre that brings the listener into the actual events in a way no other medium or text could. The story is woven in such a way that you get the sense of what it was like to be in the courtroom ... as part of the prosecution team, the defense team & defendants, the judge & the jury, since all of those points-of-view are represented. The material has a slight pro-defendant bias, in part because it evaluates the event from a politico-historical perspective, rather than a narrow legal perspective. But that slight bias is clear in the telling & should just be in the back of listeners' minds as they listen. This is the best of the three "trial" audios by the LA Theatre Workshop (the others are on the Scopes & the Pentagon Papers cases), because it is the longest & the one most focused on what happened in the courtroom itself. Well worth the money. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/But-Not-for-Me-Audiobook/B01N3UNAWD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Now living deep under Manhattan in an abandoned subway tunnel with the Mole People, a very hungry Dolores recounts her years selling weed with her boyfriend, her return to Washington Heights after 13 years in prison, her fortuitous reunion with an old stoner friend who lets her give massages for cash in the basement under his empanada shop, and the bloodbath that sent her fleeing underground. Loosely inspired by the legend of Sweeney Todd, Empanada Loca is "contemporary Grand Guignol horror in the style of Spalding Gray."

Editorial Reviews: Martin Jenkins is a seasoned BBC producer who frequently works in this country. Equally adept at documentary and radio drama - he here combines these skills, with the help of codirector John Theochari - to present docudramas on the McCarthy-era spy trials of Alger Hiss, the Rosenbergs, and J. Robert Oppenheimer. The trilogy is atypical for L. A. Theatre Works, which normally tapes its audio plays in front of a studio audience. These BBC coproductions benefit from the controlled studio conditions under which they were made. They combine reenactments with interviews of historians and eyewitnesses for heightened realism.

Members Reviews: Wonderful history lesson, told with verve As a person who grew up well after the events discussed in these three playlets, I found the information in them fascinating and new to me. The acting was excellent, as well. I was a bit puzzled by the "intent" of the author. In terms of tone, it sounded as though the listener is meant to feel sympathy for the persons involved--Hiss, the Rosenbergs, and Oppenheimer--but the facts presented do not lead in that direction. In the case of Hiss and the Rosenbergs, the narrator makes it clear that in recent years the Venona decodings have proven that they were certainly guilty of espionage, Hiss in time of war. That seems to constitute treason, which is worthy of severe penalty--including the death penalty. The Rosenbergs' crime seems even greater--what could be worse than giving atomic secrets to an enemy nation? The actors' declartions suggest that the civil rights of Hiss, the Rosenbergs, and Oppenheimer were violated, but other than citing that the "current of the time" during the "Red Scare" convicted them, rather than the evidence, I did not hear what seemed to me clear instances of violations. To my unfamiliar ears, the contemporary evidence (not Venona) sounded pretty damning, whatever the climate of the times. Oppenheimer was the only one who may have been treated roughly given his "crime," but then his punishment was simply to be removed from a job. How could a reasonable government have left in charge of such a vital defense/security program as atomic weapons a man who not only had had Communist sympathies but, much more importantly, had failed to disclose a security breach known to him personally for at least 6 months? What could the authorities have done--I mean, doesn't that constitute at least reason to doubt Oppenheimer's trustworthiness? At any rate, as I said, I was previously unfamiliar with these cases, and I am certainly disposed now to find out a great deal more about all of them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Sister-Women-Audiobook/B01M5K2H2N Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Sister Women Subtitle: Four Audio Plays about Southern Women Author: Mark Dunn Narrator: full cast Format: Original Recording Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-16 Publisher: Siren Audio Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Playwright Mark Dunn presents four audio plays about Southern women. In Dix Tableaux, two women chart the course of each other's lives, nurturing a friendship that, in the end, becomes the strongest and most sustaining of their lives. Van Choc Straw is a bittersweet comedy about tenuous family ties and the often stronger bonds of friendship that lattice the final years of our lives. Inspired by My Fair Lady, PIGmalion tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, who sells pork rinds and dreams of working as a waitress at "one of those nice downtown barbecue restaurants where all the tourists go".

Members Reviews: Short, Sweet and Predictable While I enjoyed the audio format of this book (it reads as a play) I found the content fairly predictable. Note (as I failed to) that this is a very short book... I meant to get something to listen to on a cross country flight but this book didn't make it half way. My fault. Beautifully says the things that can not be said Would you listen to The Young Man from Atlanta again? Why? No. I feel like I got the jest of the story the first time. What did you like best about this story? The way the actors beautifully portrayed the tension of dancing around taboo topics. What about Shirley Knight and David Selby s performance did you like? You could not help but have a great deal of compassion for these older people making the attempt to navigate a changing world. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The last scene when Lily Dale finally accepts what happened to their son. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/A-Heros-Journey-Audiobook/B01ACK0RXM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A posh working class hero Meet Charles James Harrington Fitzroy Yellowplush, the perfect footman. In "The Yellowplush Papers" we follow his story from obscurity to the heights of British society in five mini-plays. In MY FIRST EMPLOYER, Frederick Altamont takes on Yellowplush as his servant. But who is this secretive Altamont, and why does he refuse to disclose his profession? CAPTAIN ROOK, Yellowplush's next employer, is a flattering, name-dropping rogue who dwells in the Temple and makes his way as a cardsharp. Here our hero learns all about the finer points of plucking pigeons. Yellowplush's next employer is Algernon Percy DEUCEACE, an aristocratic ex-pat living in Paris. Deuceace is ready to marry his way into the level of life to which he'd like to become accustomed when horror strikes: his father shows up with a few home truths. MY NOVEL finds Yellowplush in the service of the Duke and Duchess of Diddlesex and their obnoxious family. The Duke is a bit of a bore, the Duchess what we might call a late Georgian cougar. And our Yellowplush, as he frequently reminds us, has quite a fine figure, with the well-turned calves so admired in a footman. After meeting up with dodgy society novelist Augustus Modicum during his stay at Diddlesex Towers, Yellowplush decides to write a novel of his own. The working title is "Aristocrats Behaving Badly," but after bringing it to the attention of the literary agent Scavenger, it becomes the best-selling "Besmirched Escutcheon." Yellowplush, having wisely invested the proceeds of his just-short-of-libelous "novel," finds himself in the possession of 30,000 pounds sterling and ready for his DEBUT IN SOCIETY. It's all oak paneling, Axminster carpets, and brocade from now on! But will success change our hero for the worse? Overall, this was a fun couple of hours. Like a kid with deep suspicions of mushrooms, just knowing he wouldn't like them despite never having tasted one, I suspected I wouldn't like Thackeray. But I liked him in adaptation. Maybe I'll tackle Vanity Fair next. Whatever the case, "The Yellowplush Papers" was great British fun, and made a holiday baking blitz merry and bright. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Classic-Drama-Audiobook/B002V5GT8O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works Critic Reviews: "Simon at his peak and Dreyfuss and Mason at their best." (Denton Record-Chronicle) Members Reviews: Clever humor! Prisoner of Second Avenue is brilliant! The similarity to Simon's "Lost In Yonkers", is that reality, in this case a nervous breakdown, is mixed with such humor. Mel and Edna, mid forties couple live on the 14th floor of an overpriced East side apartment. The play opens with the frustrations, the air condition is broke, in mid-July, Mel is frozen stiff, the airline stewardesses (and their midnight guests) in the next apartment keep him awake, the toilet keeps running, a malfunctioning window, a dog barking, and he can smell garbage 14 stories high. Then, he begins to lose touch, unravels, and the company he works for has lost millions and he lost his job, and has been pretending to go to work. Weeks later, his three sisters and brother come to intervene. In the midst of the chaos, the TV voice over reports the Six O'clock Report, where we hear more depressing New York City news, although it sounds very funny. A lengthy play, this one is hilarious and so Neil Simon! His humor is distinct and so recognizable. ......Rizzo A Great well-thought play... A play written by Niel Simon is always expected to have some kind of comedy characters in them. This play is poisitvely one of those plays. Although, his characters go through struggles: such as keeping his own job, finding a job, or just getting exercise in the park. These characters are very depressing and fun to laugh with. The actual written words aren't funny, just the situations, which makes it that much more hilarious. This play only consists of two main characters and 4 cameo roles. Along with some one liner characters. I, myself, starred as Mr. edison (mel) in the LHHS poduction of The prisoner of second avenue. And let me tell you, the lines are very hard to get down. Although they are very smart, well thought out, and overall a great read/play/performance. GREAT COLLEGE/HIGHSCHOOL material for a festival, competition, or just a play that is going to be reviewed. Although i do warn you, it has A TON of cuss words. B+ book/play Best pick. For those who may be taking Drama or Theatre courses, if that class requires you to have to analyze or write a synopsis of a play or drama, The Prisoner of 2nd Avenue is a plus. Simon wrote a funny with a dramatic twist and for those who need a monologue, The Prisoner of 2nd Avenue has a ton that work very well with judges as Ive been told, and as Ive learned. ITS A CLASSIC! Prisoner of Second Avenue Simon is brilliant and again great theatre for community players. The hilarity that is derived from the writing will bring the audience to side splitting laughter. Top Notch I can see why The Prisoner of Second Avenue got a Grammy nomination. Marsha Mason and Richard Dreyfuss have great chemistry and give top notch performances. A fabulous listen with plenty of laughs.

This is about Joseph Alsop and is a brilliant look at how someone like Alsop could play a role in politics as a journalist that probably no one today could. I don't want to give away any major plot lines, but this is a mostly true look at Alsop in his era. Alsop was one of the most powerful men of his era, a journalist whose column was carried by newspapers all over America. But little was known of him as a person, because in those days, the private lives of the movers and shakers was off limits. Witness JFK and his serial womanizing, J Edgar Hoover's presumed homosexuality, and so on. Alsop was a public figure who pressured presidents and clashed with journalists who thought differently about the major issue of the day, the war in Vietnam. This cast is stellar and I cannot imagine better performances. As a bonus, there is a question and answer session at the conclusion of the play with the playwright. This is an outstanding way to learn a bit of history and be absolutely gripped by drama. One of my favorites! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Country-Girl-Audiobook/B002V8LMHY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Country Girl The Country Girl is being performed on Broadway for a limited run with some big name stars--Morgan Freeman, Peter Gallagher, and Frances McDormand. This is a re-make of a movie that starred Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby and William Powell. Prior to seeing the live performance, I read this play. It is a simple story, but reading the written work before going to the show really enhanced the event for me. I was able to imagine Grace Kelly's work prior to seeing how Ms. McDormand interpreted the role now. Then I could contrast the performers, old vs. new. I even was able to get my paper copy of the play autographed by some of the cast members after the show. A real New York experience, and I would really recommend it! Four Stars enjoyed it very much Customer Review of the Play The customer who reviewed this play erred in saying the play with Frances MacDormand was a remake of the Grace Kelly - Bing Crosby - William Holden movie. The movie itself was a movie version of the play, originally starring Uta Hagen, who won an award for her performance. This play has appeared in New York several times. Grace Kelly's movie version was simply that -- the movie version. This seems to me important, in that Grace Kelly's performance was working against other performances, not inventing the character of Georgie. And the early days of her marriage are shown as prosperous and happy, which was in keeping with her elegant beauty and handsome clothes. Then we can see her after all that has ended. It's impossible not to like Grace Kelly, I think, and she did an admirable job for a woman with so little experience as an ordinary country girl. Her accent was a problem (Philadelphia-wealthy, American-Academy-of-Dramatic-Arts), but her ability to catch the camera -- even away from William Holden (no mean feat) -- was amazing. Additionally, I thought Bing Crosby was quite good, though I never thought of him as much of an actor. So, the movie was well worth seeing. Classic Odets The Best of Odets. A brilliant study into a complicated marriage and the perceptions we develop as observers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Blue-Orange-Audiobook/B002V1NSH8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I really like the idea, but it's so fantastic and confused that I can't properly respect it. The concept is ambitious, but I'm not convinced that the execution of the writing matches the quality of the idea sufficiently. It is extremely casual, and just seems unfinished. Not that I'm dissatisfied with how it ends â that was great â but the text could use some refinement. The concept is most appropriate for a certain audience, but the text is most appropriate for a different kind of audience. The depiction of the caracters comes across as crude, while their personalities don't. Character development is extremely limited; we learn more about the characters as the play progresses, but we learn little of who they are. The relationship of their motivations and actions is shallow. It is a play to read or watch, not to think about. Portrayal is slow enough that one can figure things out a little to easily. Summary: This play is shallow and doesn't express it's concept as ambitiously as the idea requires. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Mizlansky-Zilinsky-Audiobook/B002V8ODSE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: One of the Best Plays Ever "The Heiress" is simply genius. It is written with such economy. My interest in this play was piqued by the latest Broadway revival starring Jessica Chastain, David Strathairn and Judith Ivey, which I saw twice. Since then I have also watched the film version starring Olivia DeHavilland (William Wyler, 1949). However--I prefer the stage play to the film. The momentum created by the writing is more keenly felt via live theatre and thus the impact is stronger. When I first saw the film version of "The Heiress" years ago, I found the ending to be very depressing. As if the protagonist / anti-heroine, Catherine Sloper, is throwing her life away to get revenge for being jilted. [I had a similar reaction to the end of Federico Fellini's "Juliet of the Spirits", having first seen it in my early 30s and then having returned to it and watched it, repeatedly, in my early 50s.] However, now after having seen both the play, as well as the film version of "The Heiress", some 20 years later--I can see how Catherine, in rejecting Morris, also emancipates herself. She chooses not to settle. Perhaps she knows that she can do better. If she wanted to--She could "buy a man". On the other hand--Catherine's money could end up being a kind of curse--Wherein no man could be trusted because he would only want her for her wealth. In this case--Catherine would end up living a "long and lonely life"--As her aunt Lavinia Penniman infers in the final scene of Act II. Of course the matter is open to interpretation--Which is yet another reason why this play is so great. The complexity of this drama also reminds me of the film "Sunset Boulevard" in the way I see something new in it with each viewing. Watching or reading "The Heiress" is like looking into a kaleidoscope and seeing different patterns each time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/American-Night-The-Ballad-of-Juan-Jose-Dramatized-Audiobook/B00MX2B9EY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Doesn't quite pass the test of time A mildly entertaining play. Performances were good. But the "scandal" driving the tension is so commonplace these days that it all seemed a lot of bother about nothing. Can see how it would have been much more impactful when it was first released. If, like me, you're a glutton for radio drama,the cheap price makes it worth it. But there are much better radio dramas out there. A 1971 Family Values Play A nice twist in this Christmas play about family values. Would like to see the film version with Clelia Johnson. A nice little play for the festive season. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Therese-Raquin-Classic-Serial-Audiobook/B00CP7EOJ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Zola At His Best A good Victorian plot set in a claustrophobic atmosphere of a little shop somewhere in a small town in France. Love betrayal murder along with a suffocating mother who dominates her mummies boy is all wrapped up in lust and ... well I do not want to spoil it for you ... a typical french fancy that I like to listen to every few years and I like it as much as the first time. A good play for a Sunday afternoon Nicely acted and an enjoyable play but latter half of the play got a bit predictable and silly. In some ways this is down to the story but minus the literary delivery of Zola it came across as a little rushed and melodramatic A good listen and a good play to enjoy on a lazy afternoon but overall three stars - good/ok https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Mothers-Audiobook/B01H45KIJ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars Great product. Good delivery. Satisfied costumer. Orphans draws you into.. .... the story of this make shift family with a smooth hand. At no point did I feel like I was being forced to feel for them, I simply was. It gets a little clunky in the middle but brings it all back at the end. Scene work I had to reads this for my scene and it really made a difference on my acting choices to get more history for my character. Wonderful play This play is moving and interesting. The film actually lives up to the play, which is unusual. The condition of the book was very good, like new. thoughtful engagement and is not recommended for the pedestrian seeking entertainment per se This play requires active, thoughtful engagement and is not recommended for the pedestrian seeking entertainment per se. However, it is truly gripping. It covers depth psychology of two feral-forgotten orphaned boys trying to subsist while seeking to become men. The morally ambiguous mentor enters their lives to an astounding conclusion. Themes of emergence, becoming, self and identity all within the contradictions of inner and outer worlds. Ultimately, the deep desire for human attachment dominates the message. Lyle Kessler is a genius. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Unquestioned-Integrity-Audiobook/B002VA96RA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: South Africa On The Eve of Apartheid's End About 15 years ago, we saw an incredibly powerful production of this explosive play at Celebration Arts, a Sacramento theatre company dedicated to performing the works of black playwrights and works focusing on issues of ethnocentrism around the world. We have never forgotten it or the amazing talent of the black male lead, in particular. Recently when we were talking about it, I wondered if Audible might have a recorded version, looked for it, and found this stunner. If you're at all interested in what South Africa was like just before the end of Apartheid, if you admired Trevor Noah's recent memoir Born a Crime and want to know more, or if you just admire great theatre, this 2-man tour de force is for you. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/MATTY-Audiobook/B00J486L52 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is the number one audiobook I have ever listened to! Ok, this is the first audiobook I've ever listened to but I was pleasantly surprised. I love to read and did not think I would like to hear someone else's voice in my head. But I really did! Not only is Frierson's voice easy on the ears, his obvious love for his subject matter is a feel good thing to be around. What did you like best about this story? The warmth and humor he brought to the plate was like curling up with a warm & fussy. I felt like I had gone back in time to a kinder, gentler world. Have you listened to any of Eddie Friersons other performances before? How does this one compare? I have never heard Eddie Frierson on tape before. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I loved hearing him go from one personality to another. Any additional comments? A must see/hear for baseball fans and a feel good for anyone who needs to de-stress from today's too harried world. You don't even have to be a baseball fan What was one of the most memorable moments of MATTY? Actually, it was a series of moments: John McGraw's relationship with Christy Mathewson. McGraw was awed by NObody. Until Matty. Which character as performed by Eddie Frierson was your favorite? Charley "Victory" Faust. When I saw this show in New York, Frierson imbued Faust with so many visual quirks that I wondered if it was going to work as well on audio. It does. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I DID listen to it in one sitting. Any additional comments? Like the recording of Hal Holbrook's "Mark Twain Tonight," this one's a keeper. It's also a worthy competitor to Mark Harris' "The Southpaw," which I still think is the best novel ever written. A perfect game Who was your favorite character and why? Charlie Faust, because he exemplifies the pure spirit of the time. What about Eddie Friersons performance did you like? The distinct voices that matched the characters. Any additional comments? A great story with drama, humor and ultimately, tragedy. Baseball, like life is a very funny proposition.. Would you consider the audio edition of MATTY to be better than the print version? Having never read the printed version, I can only say that I am delighted to have had this be my first opportunity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Pickin-Bakker-Audiobook/B06XN5DZXG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Couldn't Put It Down........ An out of the ordinary personal journey which takes you to another place, where most of us have little knowledge of today. Experience the joy, the heartache and the overwhelming challenges that await Mrs. Blake upon arriving in her new teaching position in tobacco country. Meet her troubled students, who for the most part, their social and economic destination in life, has already been predestine, just by being born in the area. The teacher walks a fine line in wanting the children to be educated and being able to determine their own future. Unfortunately, the same children pick and plant the crops in season and have to forego their studies. Her struggle with the so-called parents and the establishment is often maddening and leaves you with a sense of hopelessness for the kids. You will also experience the inner struggle of Mrs. Blake herself. Is she performing in the role of a traditional teacher, or is she really projecting a loving, nurturing mother, protecting her children, in order they have access to a better future. You will have to decide for yourself, I did. I enjoyed the book, easy read. âPickinâ Bakkerâ is excellent. Donât miss it. Illuminating, beautiful, and meaningful I so enjoyed reading this book. To give some context, my 8th grade son is a student in Ms. Blakeslee's English/LA class and he simply adores her and her approach to teaching. One day he told me that she wrote a book and he asked if I would please order him a copy of it. Being an avid reader myself, and wanting to support my son's enthusiasm as well as a teacher whom he (and I) have great respect for, I was excited to delve into it. I can say that I couldn't put it down. It is always meaningful to learn how teachers, really good teachers that is, are a fundamental part of our society, This book gives a detailed and earnest look at what it's like for a teacher to try and bridge the gap between different cultures and how to find ways to maximize everyone's potential in life. This book shares the painful part of teaching that so many teachers feel every time they interact with a student who is challenged in some way (i.e., physical, emotional, financial, cultural stereotypes and expectations). The author clearly is a special soul and she resonates with all of her students because she respects them, cares for them, and challenges them. This book is a beautiful illustration of the stamina and love that she has for all whom have the privilege of having interacted with her, especially those on a daily basis for an academic school year. A wonderful read. I have been in education for 26 ... A wonderful read. I have been in education for 26 years and still learned some new teacher tactics. Should be required reading for all teachers, parents and students. Not much has changed in our countryâs race relations in 30 years. Five stars!!! Southern Teaching Excellent stories....heartbreaking examples of life in southern schools. A must read, especially for anyone that grew up in the South. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Big-Work-Audiobook/B071HQVF4D Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Big Work Subtitle: Real Stories of How Our Jobs Do (and Don't) Define Us Author: Melissa Bergstrom, Kate Marple Narrator: Melissa Bergstrom, Christa Brown, Teddy Crecelius, Emily Duggan, Kate Marple, Sumit Sharma Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-17 Publisher: The Perpetual Visitors Theatre Company Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Big Work examines our modern day relationship to our jobs and the ripples this causes throughout our lives. Based on interviews with people from all across the US, the play follows 17 real people who share stories about their dreams, about feeling invisible, about unexpectedly starting over, and about searching for employment and themselves. What begins as a conversation about the work we do is woven into a larger story about identity, the definition of success, and what it means to both make a living and create a life. This recording is an audio performance of the play by the entire original cast. From the playwrights: In 2014, we had both just turned 30, and felt largely defined by the ways we made our livings. Melissa was struggling with what it means to be an artist with a day job. And Kate, after retreating into work during a long period of illness, was figuring out where work fit in the new life she was building. We'd also been having in-depth conversations with people in our lives about what it means to be seen as less valuable in the workforce as you age, what you are supposed to sacrifice to get ahead in a career, how to balance the demands of a family with the demands of a workplace, whether or not our passions should be our jobs, and what it means to try so hard and always come up short. At the same time, it seemed like everyone we met asked us the same question, "What do you do?" It began to feel as though the language we use to communicate with each other reinforced the idea - intentionally or not - that our value comes from how we earn a living.

Title: Big Work Subtitle: Real Stories of How Our Jobs Do (and Don't) Define Us Author: Melissa Bergstrom, Kate Marple Narrator: Melissa Bergstrom, Christa Brown, Teddy Crecelius, Emily Duggan, Kate Marple, Sumit Sharma Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-17 Publisher: The Perpetual Visitors Theatre Company Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Big Work examines our modern day relationship to our jobs and the ripples this causes throughout our lives. Based on interviews with people from all across the US, the play follows 17 real people who share stories about their dreams, about feeling invisible, about unexpectedly starting over, and about searching for employment and themselves. What begins as a conversation about the work we do is woven into a larger story about identity, the definition of success, and what it means to both make a living and create a life. This recording is an audio performance of the play by the entire original cast. From the playwrights: In 2014, we had both just turned 30, and felt largely defined by the ways we made our livings. Melissa was struggling with what it means to be an artist with a day job. And Kate, after retreating into work during a long period of illness, was figuring out where work fit in the new life she was building. We'd also been having in-depth conversations with people in our lives about what it means to be seen as less valuable in the workforce as you age, what you are supposed to sacrifice to get ahead in a career, how to balance the demands of a family with the demands of a workplace, whether or not our passions should be our jobs, and what it means to try so hard and always come up short.

Members Reviews: Studs Terkel would be proud. I thoroughly enjoyed both an on-stage production I saw of this piece as well as reading the piece in this form. It made me think of the old Studs Terkel book, "Working," but an updated and modernized version of that. If you have the chance to see this show in person, please do. The authors and actors do a marvelous job of communicating more than just the words on the page -- they show you the humanity of the characters within.

In the midst of family chaos, Jacob is shipped off to boarding school. Years later, when the school expels him, he believes he can't go back home. As a young man alone on the streets of Pittsburgh, Jacob lies about his age and assumes a new identity. Intelligent and ambitious, he soon gets recruited by the city's crime organization.

Members Reviews: Awesome, Intriguing, Riveting, Recommend Where does Born of Sin rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is in the top ten. I am on the second listen of the book. Who was your favorite character and why? My favorite character was JD, I love how he overcomes and proves that he is capable of what comes his way. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I did listen to in one sitting and just restarted listening again. Any additional comments? I would certainly recommend. I will listen and looking forward to the second. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBlast dot com. I can't wait for the next book! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would absolutely recommend this audiobook; actually I was recommending it even before I was finished listening. The story is amazing, and I was really intrigued by the main character and his complexities. What was one of the most memorable moments of Born of Sin? There were many scenes that stand out, but the scene in which Jacob's mother wonders out of the house into the woods was a scene that stuck with me long after. I supposed it is because I could identify with her. Have you listened to any of Dirk Watsons other performances before? How does this one compare? I have not listened to any other of his narrations. In this performance, he mispronounced several "normal" words, and some phrasing was "off". This was distracting at times. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, indeed. Any additional comments? I loved Pamela Vines' writing style. It was easy to follow, and I was pulled into the story right away. Her descriptions of the characters easily allowed me to picture them, and feel connected to them. The pace was just right. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Never-Come-Morning-Dramatized-Audiobook/B0042ZMWLO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Neither does smart, attractive Jennie Malone, who has just returned from getting a Mexican divorce. A grudging five-minute meeting between them blossoms into a passionate, witty romance - until they decide to marry.

Theatre Work; All Rights Reserved Editorial Reviews: In one of Neil Simon's most intimate and personal works, the superb David Dukes and Sharon Gless (Cagney and Lacey) find subtlety, sadness, and bright humor in the roles of a recent widower and a recent divorcée who strike up a fresh and easy relationship despite first being introduced to each other over an awkward phone call. The vocal chemistry between Dukes and Gless is especially good when their characters spar about how to deal with the memories of the first chapters of their lives. Gates McFadden (Star Trek: Next Generation) and Grant Shaud (Murphy Brown) add fine comic touches as the couple's nosy brother and best friend who show a little too much eagerness in getting this touching and thoughtful romance off the ground. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Neil Simon) Thu, 07 Jun 2001 21:24:47 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Chapter-Two-Audiobook/B002V0RJ2Y thebookvoice.com 01:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Four Stars great product One of his best If you love Neil Simon, you must have this. Witty, razor sharp and heart felt with some of the best monologs I have every read. So-So Simon Very loosely based on Neil Simon's own relationship with actress Marsha Mason, CHAPTER TWO is a comedy-drama about middle-aged widower and writer George Schneider who hasn't recovered from his first wife's death when he meets and falls in love with middle-age divorcee Jennie Malone. Each one is supported by a friend, George by his brother Leo and Jennie by her friend and fellow actress Faye Medwick, and the action of this two act play rotates between George's apartment and Faye's apartment. The first act consists largely of getting George and Jennie together. Leo sets George up on several blind dates, all of them dire; at length, however, he meets Jennie and thinks they would be a perfect match. George has no intention of pursuing the matter, but when he misreads a note from Leo he makes a telephone call to Jennie by mistake. Both are intrigued by the other and they agree on a whim to meet "for just five minutes." Needless to say, the five minutes turns into a serious romance and the two decide to marry. The second act concerns George's meltdown immediately before and after the marriage. Jennie learns from Leo that George had a nervous breakdown after his first wife's death, and he may be even less recovered from her loss than any one has suspected. Leo urges Jennie not to rush into the marriage, but George has set a very early date, and the resulting honeymoon and its immediate aftermath prove disastrous, with a violent confrontation before George leaves Jennie. Fortunately for both, George realizes he really does love Jennie before he even leaves the airport, and the two are presumably reunited in marital bliss. Simon was originally famous for such comedies as COME BLOW YOUR HORN and STAR SPANGLED GIRL; over time, however, he began to introduce dramatic notes in his work, and these often overshadowed the comic elements. Nothing wrong with that--if it works. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Brief-Encounter-Classic-Radio-Theatre-Audiobook/B005HYGAQW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Brief Encounter with the Golden Age I was slightly wary when I saw Brief Encounter was available, after all the film is iconic and surely the play would be very dated? But it is a real gem, Jenny Seagrove and Nigel Havers take on the mantles of Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard admirably and the rest of the cast are equally good . Although the story's morals are outmoded, they are charming and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire performance. Not for nothing was Nöel Coward called The Master. Doesn't stand comparison with the film Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Only if they had not seen the film! Seagrove and Havers are well cast (although the wonderful Nicholas Farrell is wasted) but it lacks the impact of the film and - perhaps overcompensating for the medium - Seagrove does sound somewhat hystrionic at points, contrary to the repression of the characters' emotions which is the crux of the story. Missed the Rachmaninov score too - why use it only at the end? Who was your favorite character and why? Laura is the centre of the story, and the conceit of having her narrate events to her - not listening, complacent - husband is brilliant, conveying her real isolation. What three words best describe Jenny Seagrove and Nigel Havers s performance? Perfect voices for roles but Seagrove overdoes it at times. If this book were a film would you go see it? I have! Any additional comments? This is probably as good a radio adaptation as you could get - it's just that it's impossible to get close to the impact of the film. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Gift-of-the-Magi-Dramatized-Audiobook/B002V8MHKA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Can the joy, the dreams, the hope for the future, the burning flame of love, be adequately expressed with only a dollar and eighty-seven cents? ©2000 Monterey Media Inc., All Rights Reserved Members Reviews: Not a good story book for children Iâve always loved different renditions of this story, but had never read the original. I bought for my kids for Christmas. This was a difficult book to read out loud for kids. The language and writing are definitely not of this age. I donât reccomend if youâre buying for children, but a nice book for a collection or something. A story of love and want. I love O'Henrys writing. If only I could tell a story so succinctly! The emotion of each character is laid out very simply yet clearly. That's what this story is about, emotion. Heartwarming We all know the story. 2 people in love without a penny doing a selfless act for each other at Christmas time. It's a must along with the Christmas Carol by Dickens. A good reminder what is really important A good quick story. Sometimes we forget about what is really important in this life. This is a good reminder of that. Beautiful short read You can read this in about 15 minutes. It's a beautiful story of sacrificial love. it's a free ebook! It's an excellent read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Circle-Audiobook/B01MD2GGJW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good Drama Book Store sells for more. New, no marks, etc. Good buy Excellent condition! Love his work! Tennessee Williams at his finest This is my favorite Williams play by far, simply due to the complicated and dark nature of the whole thing. Truly brilliant, with comedy, passion, and chock-full of social commentary. Let's Go Juking: Southern Gothic at its Darkest BATTLE OF ANGELS was an unsuccessful play written by Williams in the late 1930s and performed in 1940. Williams rewrote the play and re-titled it ORPHEUS DESCENDING. Directed by Harold Clurman, the play opened in 1957 starring Maureen Stapleton and Cliff Robertson. Although it had admirers, it failed again, closing after about sixty performances. ORPHEUS DESCENDING is among Williamsâ lesser-known works. Professional performances are rare, for the play is technically demanding, but it is occasionally seen in regional, community, and educational theatre. The play is performed in three acts and requires ten men and nine women. The male lead must be able to play acoustic guitar. The set is an elaborate single unit, depicting the main floor of a small town store with a view into a side room and a staircase that leads up to a second floor apartment. Unusual props include a snakeskin jacket and an acoustic guitar bearing numerous autographs. The story is vaguely based on a Greek myth, which tells of a musician named Orpheus who descends to the underworld in a doomed effort to rescue his wife from death. The parallels in the play are rather obscure, and the relationship between the myth and the play seems to be more poetic than actual. Val is a young man who has previously worked as a singer and guitar player in New Orleans night spots of very dubious reputation, and the script suggests he may have also been a prostitute. His car breaks down in a small town, where he stumbles into a job at a store owned by Jabe Torrance, a particularly nasty man who is now suffering a prolonged and nasty death. Jabeâs wife, Lady, is mildly indifferent to her husbandâs plightâuntil Valâs sexuality and a series of coincidences prompt her to an act of revenge against her husband. The central story has drive and interest, but the real beauty of the story is in the side issues. The women of the town function much as the chorus of an ancient tragedy does, repeating local legends, stories, and gossip. A black âconjure manâ frequently appears as a harbinger of ill-omen. A local artist, Vee, has visions of God that she transforms into paintings. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Rebuttal-Audiobook/B01LYC3LDS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

With full cast. Directed by Gary Brown. Members Reviews: Quite interesting By the time Thomas De Quincey wrote "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater" the subject of narcotics was very much a taboo, thus the author was the founder of a new type of literature - addiction literature. The book`s structure is as follows: Part l (To the Reader and Preliminary Confessions), Part II (Pleasures of Opium, Introduction to the Pains of Opium, The Pains of Opium, May 1818, June 1819), Appendix and Footnotes. When De Quincey was seven, his father died, living him in the care of four tutors. After changing several esteemed boarding schools, the protagonist came to Eton, where he discovered his passion for Old Greek and Ancient literature. However, he wanted to drop out of school when he was seventeen but his guardians didn't approve, therefore he ran away from Eton. He traveled to Northern Wales where the villagers asked him to do small work as an exchange to food and a place to say. Unfortunately, he ran short of money and he was forced to move on, thus he found himself in London. There he almost starved to death, but a fifteen-years-old prostitute - Ann -saved him and thus the two became friends. Her gesture and his sympathy for her followed him all his life, but he did not see her again because he had never asked for her last name. Being fed up with poverty, De Quincey asks an old school friend - Earl of D - to lend him some money to return home. He reconciles with his family and goes to Oxford University. From this point on, the narrator begins to tell his reader about his good and bad experiences with opium. As De Quincey confesses, the previous period of his life left deep marks on his health - severe stomachaches, intolerance to certain foods and psychic traumas. The first time he used opium was after a friend suggested it as a pain-killer for toothache. Afterwards, he began consuming it regularly by counting the drops .Throughout the years he had to consume more because the doze didn't have the same pleasant effects. The obsessive counting of the drops may represent the fact that De Quincey wanted to keep his addiction under control, because he took it for medical reasons, not for pleasure. My favorite part of the book is when De Quincey began to feel the bad effects of opium such as the hallucinations and nightmares, which usually took place in Orient and North Africa (China, Turkey, and Egypt etc.), places that exported opium to Europe. The Malay, who has previously showed up at his door and to whom De Quincey offers a good amount of opium, he will also appear in the author's dreams. The style of the Confessions is erudite, seasoned with Greek terms, references to Ancient literature and other domains. (art, economy, politic science etc.) Even if the title suggests the idea of confessions regarding the author's life, here opium is the center piece of the book, with its positive and negative effects. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Classic-Drama-Audiobook/B002UZJZ3Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Visitors try to retrieve lost daughters, remember drunken nights, deal with denial in a big way best friends coming unraveled. Just like Simons Plaza Suite (also available from L.A. Theatre Works), we have four couples who separately inhabit the same Beverly Hills hotel suite, bringing along their problems, anxieties, and comical marital dilemmas. An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Dennis Boutsikaris, Bruce Davison, Marsha Mason, and Amy Pietz. Visitor from New York - Marsha Mason as Hannah Warren; Bruce Davison as William Warren. Visitor from Philadelphia - Dennis Boutsikaris as Marvin Michaels; Amy Pietz as Millie Michaels. Visitors from London - Marsha Mason as Sidney Nichols; Bruce Davison as Diana Nichols. Visitors from Chicago - Dennis Boutsikaris as Mort Hollender; Amy Pietz as Beth Hollender; Bruce Davison as Stu Franklyn; Marsha Mason as Gert Franklyn. Directed by Gwenn Victor. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, in February 2010. Editorial Reviews: Television and Broadway standouts Marsha Mason, Bruce Davison, Dennis Boutsikaris, and Amy Pietz join forces to play ten characters in four skits in this perennial Neil Simon favorite. The action and laughs may all take place in various rooms of a fancy Beverly Hills hotel but the accents and attitude are all very much East Coast. Theres wonderful moment in the opening sketch between Masons character and Davisons character, who had moved to L.A. She asks why he "gave up analysis," and he replies, "I went sane." What a perfect analogy for what these five couples expect from California - the hope for change and renewal. In their voices the listener can hear California is not just a place on the map its a state of mind. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Neil Simon) Thu, 25 Aug 2011 21:27:36 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/California-Suite-Audiobook/B005IZZPJI thebookvoice.com 01:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Adam's Rib Author: Garson Kanin, Ruth Gordon (Adapted by David Rambo) Narrator: Adam Arkin, Anne Heche, Annabelle Gurwitch, Full Cast Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 10-29-04 Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: A married couple's relationship is tested when they find themselves serving as attorneys on opposite sides of the same headline-making case. The fireworks displayed in the courtroom follow Adam and Amanda Bonner home, creating a wildly witty portrait of love and work. This story took its inspiration from a real court case. Based on the original 1949 "battle of the sexes" film starring Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, directed by George Cukor. (P)2004 L.A. Theatre Works Editorial Reviews: If you're expecting the Spenser Tracy/Katharine Hepburn classic battle of the sexes, you'll be disappointed. But Adam Arkin and Anne Heche make this version their own. Married attorneys Amanda and Adam Bonner find themselves on opposite sides of an assault case, with Amanda defending a woman who shot her philandering husband. Heche and Arkin make this comedy brassier, faster, and less sophisticated than the original, without losing a laugh. This is a first-rate ensemble production with a polished supporting cast, especially Amy Pietz as the gun-toting wife, Marvin Kaplan as the droll court clerk, and Annabelle Gurwitch as the cheating husband's sweetie. The topping on the hilarious antics is the zippy 1940s' musical interludes. Critic Reviews: "Meaty and juicy and comically nourishing!"

(The New York Times) Members Reviews: Great adaptation of a classic! I love the movie "Adam's Rib" with Spencer Tracey & Katherine Hepburn so was a little dubious about buying this adaptation. I'm so pleased I did! It's a most enjoyable rendering of this play featuring wonderful performances by Adam Arkin & Anne Heche and a talented supporting cast. This is a story of the age-old battle of the sexes and the double standards society has regarding the roles and rights of men and women. Although the original was written back in the 1950's, the material is still delightfully witty. While our social values have changed in many respects, this play highlights some issues where there is still inequality between men and women. This one is definitely worth a listen! Fast paced, comical drama. This play is short and enjoyable, and the cast were wonderful. Was going to listen to just a small amount but wound up listening to all in one sitting because it grabbed my interest and didn't let go. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Baby-Dance-Audiobook/B002V8OHEY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is a good production, by good actors who are trying hard, of a fairly unimpressive play. It is little more than a one-acter, blown up a bit, and suffers from the problem of having no character whom the audience can truly like. The character who makes the title tape is wholly repugnant, his friend is somewhat less so, and the rape-victim/ADA is at best inexplicable. There are a few funny and insightful lines, especially concerning violent relationships, but it is by no means a major work. However, I enjoyed listening to it once for the skill of the actors and the few places where the author shines. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Just-Between-Ourselves-Audiobook/B002V1C50E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: The first of Ayckbourn's darkly comic masterpieces involves a relentlessly cheerful handyman in a disastrously fractured marriage. Two couples develop an unlikely friendship in this painfully funny portrait of British suburban life. ©2009 L.A. Theatre Works; (P)2009 L.A. Theatre Works Editorial Reviews: Alan Ayckbourn's occasionally humorous but overall painful play gives us two rather disturbed British suburban couples who meet over the sale of a used car and strike up an uncertain friendship. As time passes, their lives unravel further. Kenneth Danziger, who has the meatiest role as a clueless, relentlessly chipper son and husband, is the best of a strong cast. The acting is the kind that makes one forget that it's acting and that the dialogue - most of it relentlessly quotidian - is not conversation we're overhearing. None of the drama is forced; the emotions, epiphanies, and effects arise out of the words and the characters' interactions.

Alan Ayckbourn may be one of Britain's most successful playwrights, but it doesn't show up here. If you make it through to the end you deserve a medal. :))))) Would you listen to Just Between Ourselves (Dramatized) again? Why? I would listen it again and again !!! I dont really enjoy comedies but that play was so funny I kept loughing loudly!!!! The most important thing is that is not "Just" funny and if I was more fluent in English writing I could explain more!!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Good-Black-Audiobook/B017KXS6H8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Solid performances but a confusing plot The synopsis provided by the publisher does a fair job of laying out the short play presented here. The performances as well are quite moving and believable. What earned this title a three for me was the rapid fire plot with very very little exposition/explanation aside from, again, what's already in the synopsis and while there is a sinister revelation there are several smaller disturbing revelations along the way all of which pepper the listener with assumptions, clues, and surprises. Which is all well and good but it all moves along so quickly there is little time to absorb or fully appreciate each event or revelation. Further there is so little backstory or characterization that empathy and comprehension are a struggle. If you're a fan of Steven Weber or Mary Stuart Masterson you'll likely get a kick out this short but don't waste a credit on it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/My-Visits-with-MGM-Audiobook/B0085VJQWY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great story This is an amazing work that tells a story through three different monologues. Brian Friel is a gifted playwright and this is one of his best. Like I was seeing the play all over agian! I saw this play one evening & when I got home, I ordered this book! It was as if I were watching the play all over again! The book was in GREAT condition! Thanks you! SOMETIMES A GIFT DOESN'T WORK Molly Sweeney is a play adapted from the narrative of neuroscientist Oliver Sacks. In an exceptional string of books, Sacks has brought us a series of compelling stories about various kinds of neurological catastrophe. A painter loses all perception of colors. The world appears to him in obscene shades of gray-white. He can, as a result, no longer paint or even embrace his wife because she appears loathsome to him. Patients suffer pains, or itches, from limbs that were amputated long ago. A miracle drug reverses the comas of patients suffering from meningitis, restoring them to full vitality. But the medication loses effectiveness. They retreat into permanent sleep again. (The story was made into the movie Awakenings, with Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams.) A man retains his ability to reason but loses any capacity to distinguish between the objects in front of him: a hat and a person are identical to him. (This story, "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," was made into an opera, performed in San Francisco ten years ago.) The logic of the marriage between Sacks, a scientist (though also a humanist) and Brian Friel, Ireland's greatest living playwright, is not apparent at first sight. But it's a marriage made in heaven. Because ... both of them write about the same thing, which is loss and isolation. There is a blind woman. Her name is Molly. Molly Sweeney. She's forty-one years old. For more than forty years, she has survived, even thrived, as a woman without sight. She has a job -she's a massage therapist in a local spa--and a husband -she's two years married. But she doesn't see, beyond shadows and vague movement at the periphery of her vision. There is her husband. His name is Frank. Frank's a dreamer, but not one whose projects you want to invest in. His enthusiasms are short-lived and ill conceived: he imports Iranian goats into the blustery winter of County Mayo and the sheep end up living six months out of twelve inside his house to avoid the cold and never yield milk at all. He's excited about importing African killer bees and shepherding a convoy through Ethiopia. One of his enthusiasms is restoring his wife, Molly's, sight. Whether she wants it or not. There is a doctor. His name is Rice. Patrick Rice. He was once a bright light, a "meteor" in his chosen profession of eye surgeon. Then his wife ran away with his closest friend and he found solace in a bottle. Now he's a second-rate hack in a provincial hospital in Donegal. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Id-Rather-Eat-Pants-Audiobook/B00VVZSP1Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Entertaining introduction Kenneth Cranham does a remarkable job conveying the complex, brilliant, and sometimes tortured personality of Samuel Johnson. Johnson could appear bizarre to people who met him for the first time: he had facial scars and tics and jerky movements, and he rolled around in his chair, unable to sit still; and he had many verbal tics as well, clicking with his tongue, murmuring to himself, blowing out his breath like a great whale. (Some people at first thought he was mentally deficient - until he opened his mouth and started talking.) Cranham captures this semi-Tourettes aspect of Johnson with sound alone, without the benefit of his own (somewhat Johnsonian) body. The production bills itself as an adaptation of Boswell's Life of Johnson. But it includes other material as well, some of it from Boswell's journals, some of it from accounts of Johnson by his friend Hester Thrale. Inevitably, in such a short production, a lot is missing; but Robin Brroks, who wrote the script, made an intelligent and coherent selection of events. Oliver Goldsmith is here, as are John Wilkes and Hester Thrale, and of course Boswell himself, a self-absorbed rake who initiates his friendship with Johnson with one eye on his own future publishing royalties. There are a number of dramatic episodes in this quiet scholar's life, most tragically his break with the widowed Mrs Thrale after she decided to marry an Italian dancing master. The audio production ably shows the pain of this sadly self-inflicted breach, leaving Johnson almost alone in London when he felt himself nearing death and terrified of eternal damnation. Cranham's voice during some of these later scenes evokes a horror that gave me chills. What you won't get from this audiobook - and don't really get a strong sense of from Boswell's own biography - is a clear understanding of why anyone should care about the life of Johnson. He was a great talker, one if the greatest: but more to the point, he was a brilliant writer, one of the best writers of discursive prose the English language has ever had. But omissions aside, this is a good place to begin. A BRILLIANT ADAPTATION I just love this adaptation of the A-Z of Dr Johnson. I am suprised how well this is produced and is so comfortable to listen to that I have enjoyed this at least 3 times since purchasing which to be honest, I was not to sure I would like. It is nicely written and the characters are appealing. I feel sympathetic towards the grumbling Dr Johnson who is quite a rough bully on top but rather a gentle person underneath if only he would admit it, but maybe we would not have his works as they are if he had been any different. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Bad-Axe-Audiobook/B0085Y1NAO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not high art I mistakenly thought this was an audio book when I ordered it. It is a theatrical performance on 2 CDs with some famous actors playing the various characters. The entire performance is less than 3 hours. It has been described as a cartoon-like comedy, but I did not find it hilarious or even funny. I read that the play skewers the American family on a barbecue of psychobabble, the main gimmick of the play. When characters indulge in it they spout such phrases as "syllogistic oxymoron" or "exegesis of human culture." I did not find this very amusing. In fact, I found nothing amusing about this audio play. They say it's a riff on Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Seemed more like a cat on a garbage pail to me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Doctor-Cerberus-Audiobook/B0050DY33C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Theatre Works Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: A coming-of-age, coming-out cocktail with a twist of terror. Thirteen-year-old Franklin Robertson is trying to survive adolescence. His parents dont understand him, his brother torments him, he has no friends, and hes more interested in the high school quarterback than any girl. The one bright spot in his life is the glow of the black-and-white TV in his parents basement. Here, he worships at the altar of the Saturday Night Horror Movie, hosted by the eerie Dr. Cerberus. Before long, Franklin is convinced that only by going on the show will his life be redeemed - by Dr. Cerberus himself! An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring: Simon Helberg as Franklin Robertson Jamison Jones as Doctor Cerberus Steven Culp as Lawrence Robertson Pamela J. Gray as Lydia Robertson Jarrett Sleeper as Rodney Robertson Directed by Bart DeLorenzo. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles. Doctor Cerberus is part of L.A. Theatre Works Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Major funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to enhance public understanding of science and technology in the modern world. Editorial Reviews: The first sounds one hears in this smart, brash, slightly twisted coming-of-age comedy are the wonderfully rinky-dink thunder and cheesy organ music of "The Saturday Night Horror Movie," hosted by Dr. Cerberus, a local TV show that Franklin Robertson finds is the only sanity in his crazy world. Franklin, played with aplomb by Simon Helberg, is trying to navigate his adolescence in the face of dominating parents, a brother who is a jock, and an uncle with a secret. Like many outstanding contemporary stage plays, this one jumps from stand-up comedy to drama to breaking the fourth wall. L.A.

Theatre Works is a great listen! It's a coming-of-age story about a 13 year old gay boy, Franklyn, going through the pains of adolescence. He's misunderstood by everyone who know him except his Uncle. He finds great pleasure in watching Saturday Night Horror Movies, hosted by Dr. Cerberus. Simon Helberg makes a great Franklyn who is a great character and is extremely likable. His family and the rest of the cast are all wonderfully cast. This play is very funny at first, but has true heart near the end that you can't get out of your mind. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a great laugh. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Waldorf-Conference-Audiobook/B0038F7F4S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Even Hollywood was never this Jewy I liked this piece, but I didn't love it. It's an imagining of what actually went on in 1947 when Hollywood executives met at the Waldorf Astoria to discuss their response to the refusal of ten Hollywood writers and directors to testify before HUAC. It's a fun piece mostly because of its portrayal of famous and colorful characters, like Metro, Golwyn and Mayer. While the Waldorf Statement is mainly remembered today as Hollywood failing to stand up for the principle of free speech, this play makes a lot of two issues we rarely think of. The first was an ongoing anti-trust campaign against Hollywood, which eventually led to the end of "the studio system," which I wikipediaed as a result of this play and I invite you to do the same. Chasing imaginary communists, which ironically meant these powerful men colluding at the Waldorf, was seen as a way to get Congress to look the other way on their exclusionary business practices. The second issue was antisemitism. This was only a couple of years after the end of World War II, and there was a perception of Jews and communists (and Jewish communists) having manipulated the country into fighting their enemy, the Nazis. Also, these powerful men had vivid and fresh images of a seemingly advanced country turning against Jews in horrific fashion. It's a good point that I hadn't fully appreciated in the broader story of the Red Scares, but I think it's a little overdone in this piece, hence my healine. I'll mention that there are a lot of characters, all male, with deep, slightly accented voices tending towards hysterics. Usually LA Theatreworks does a very good job of picking voice actors you won't confuse, but they have their work cut out for them with this piece, and they only partly succeed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Miracle-on-34th-Street-Dramatised-Audiobook/B0036NQXZO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nice holiday story I found an original copy when I was ten years old at a book sale and loved it dearly. I hadn't seen the original film version which this book is written from, I had only seen the 1973 version at that time. It is just as wonderful as the movie, verbatim. If you loved the movie, you will love the book. If you've never heard of it then this book is about the skepticism of a mother and daughter in regards to love and a belief in Santa Claus. The mother hires Santa Claus during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and he continues that job at the store until there is some question about his sanity, because of his insistence that he is Santa Claus. Fred, a young attorney who is in love with the mother, represents Santa in court to prove that he is who he says he is. Is it silly and sappy, yes. Christmas stories are allowed to be overwhelmingly sentimental because that is the time of year when we hope faith is restored. Good for families to read together. I believe, I believe, I believe Miracle on 34th Street by Valentine Davies. 5 starsâ and love it!âââ This may be my favorite Christmas book. I love the original movie and watch it every year. I was not aware that Davies wrote this little story first. My family and I didn't know about it's history. Even my grandpa doesn't recall that (but due to the fact of being to busy working than reading and watching movies at that time). My kindle edition gave a historical note at the end and it was nice to learn about how the story and movie came to life. Being that I know the movie nearly by heart, reading the book was very fun. It is written more in 3rd person and has less dialogue content than I expected. But being that I know the story so well, imagining how the character's dialogue and such was good. Valentine Davies' story is a very nice feel-good one that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas - miracles, faith and joy without the commercialism. The movie stays close to true to Davies' book. There is a couple editions that aren't found in the movie. And just that added bit of detail is interesting. This is more heartwarming than the movie I think. And I'm almost tempted to reading it again straight away. I didn't want it to end. "Robert Giroux [(book's editor)] wrote to Davies after first reading the story: âWe editors simply think that this is the best Christmas story since Charles Dickensâ A Christmas Carol.â" Not Quite as Good as the Movie Reading this book was almost as good as watching the movie. There was a tone to the book that didn't come up to the tone of the original movie or its 1980s remake (my preferred versions). I can't quite put my finger on what the missing element is that prevents me from fully embracing this written story, although I can say it feels too neat; too orderly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Hauntings-at-Borley-Rectory-Dramatised-Audiobook/B0036HY0VE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Too over the top The crying woman was really really annoying! The acting was too melodramatic. It might have been spookier if it had not been so over the top. As it was... not one goose bump. The haunting of Borley Rectory This style of audio performance was going to be (I thought) a sound delight. But, no it was boring. There was no story told, just second-hand--they told the visiting guest, this happened then that happened. Followed by a woman choking? AAH, AAH, AAAAHHHH. And down on through the centuries. The best thing about this performance was that it was over in less than an hour. The Haunting of Borley Rectory I found the above drama very atmospheric-it had the hair standing up on the back of my neck in some parts! It was well acted with good narration. I have some friends who live near Diss in Norfolk and the next time I visit the area I must take a trip 'over the border' into Suffolk and Essex just to see where the Rectory stood. I run an internet charity radio service here in Leeds and it would be great to broadcast this if given copyright permission. seriously disappointed the music was awful and added nothing to the story or atmosphere and the ' acting' was terrible and too over the top which sadly spoilt it for me https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Lucy-Audiobook/B0036G4M6S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The topic is fascinating as so many stories about autism are, but once again the playwright by trying to present a person with autism as if they are completely like us, just misunderstood. I have spent my life working in the theatre, and working with children with autism. It is my life's work combining the two. The scenework is beautiful, bur then the playwright ruins it with these ridiculous monologues that the girl gives to the audience which normalize her autism. This is just as offensive as having an African American person deliver monologues in the style of "white people". That is literally the exact same thing the playwright does. If you want to read a truly great play about a person with autism, read Falling by Deanna Jent. Boring, cliché, disservice to autism. Mediocre. This is a completely mediocre play. Everything about it is a cliché. The treatment of the topic(s) is very amateurish. A disservice to autism and science. Acting is decent. Not bad not great. However the portrait of the autistic child is painful to listen though, because it is so poorly written. Not recommended. So many better plays, and better works dealing with autism. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Sonia-Flew-Audiobook/B002VA9O90 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Sonia Flew Author: Melinda Lopez Narrator: Philip Casnoff, Hector Elizondo, James Martinez, Rachel Nicks, Isabelle Ortega, Isabelle Peña Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-09 Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Modern Drama Publisher's Summary: Sonia, a Cuban exiled during Castro's rise to power, is forced to relive her tumultuous childhood when her only son enlists in the military following 9/11. Using humor and sensitivity, Sonia Flew paints a lyrical portrait of two families in two countries over a 40-year span. Editorial Reviews: L.A. Theatre Works is known for producing stage plays as spectacular audio theater, and this contribution is no exception. In a dazzling two hours, the story covers the anguish of a mother whose only son enlists in the military following 9/11, the mother's own encounter with patriotism and revolution when she fled pre-Castro Cuba, and her inevitable but heartrending reconciliation with the costs of war. Sound effects and music are used with masterful economy - guitars welcome us to Cuba, and bombs shock us in Baghdad. But during dramatic scenes the audio lets the performances of the cast speak for themselves. With themes of war, patriotism, family, and freedom, the audio is a compelling cross-cultural story. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Melinda Lopez) Fri, 13 Mar 2009 06:52:16 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/Sonia-Flew-Audiobook/B002VA9O90 thebookvoice.com 01:51:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: a brilliant play I am always a bit weary of reading plays which I haven't seen performed, knowing that simply reading a play silently rarely does the text justice. When I received my review copy of the play from MX Publishing, I didn't know whether I would want to read it, still having quite the pile of books on my review list. However, since it's short and it has a lovely cover (yes, I am sometimes incredibly shallow), I decided to read it; and boy, I had no idea what would await me. The play is about Sherlock Holmes, and Jeremy Brett. It's about Jeremy Brett being Sherlock Holmes. It's about Sherlock Holmes being Jeremy Brett. And it is as fantastic as it is heartbreaking. We all have heard stories about what playing Holmes meant for Brett, and what it did to him. This play is a fictional interpretation of the relationship between the actor and his role. Only a handful of characters appear in the two-acts-long play, but every word they say is poignant, and drives the plot forward. It is difficult to describe, and the reason is not that it's overly complicated, which it isn't, at all. It's very simple, and yet it grips you right from the beginning. I do not want to give away the plot, as each reader should have that experience, and be touched by it, heartbroken, even. The stage directions help this play to come alive, even if it's just read, and it is very easy to imagine a performance of the play; only that the characters wear the faces of Brett, Burke or Hardwicke and Porter. It made me desperately want to see a performance of the play, and at the same time it feels as if reading it can be the only true way of performing it, in one's head. It is a strange and beautiful thing which Ali achieved with this play. It's a declaration of love for Holmes and from Holmes just as it is a work which speaks of deep appreciation for Jeremy Brett and his work and dedication. At the same time it carefully explores the troubled mind of the actor. While the text is fictitious, a fact which is obvious right from the beginning, we do feel familiar with the issue - and are therefore much more susceptible to the difficult and sad moments which frame the action. I cried when I reached the heartbreaking end of the play, feeling glad now that I had read it in private and not seen a performance of it, and closing the book to find a black and white photograph of a pensive looking Jeremy Brett didn't help much to cheer me up - because was it really Jeremy Brett I was looking at, or was it Sherlock Holmes? I still would absolutely love to see a production of the play; and I would be prepared and bring tissues. It's a fantastically written play, with true voices, great stage directions and a whole new take on some of the most important adventures of Sherlock Holmes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Great-Gerardo-Audiobook/B01IRWS496 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great play. I saw this play the summer of 1998 in Chicago. I found it to be a moving experience. It can currently be found in print in the anthology "Victory Gardens Theater Presents: Seven New Plays from the Playwrights Ensemble" available through Amazon. A wonderful book filled with some of the best new plays in America. The Tony Award winning Victory Gardens Theater is dedicated to producing new works and bringing new voices to the stage. Continued Education If you are a student of the written theater, you must have read Jeffrey's "The Dramatist's Toolkit" and "Solving Your Script". Consider the Audible version of this play as a sort of continuation of that education. You will find live examples of ways in which the author spices up scenes, and of characters speaking in high context. Not to take anything away from the actors, but their fine performances owes some debt to the this master of the craft. Well done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Drama-Poetry/The-Divine-Sister-Audiobook/B00ICSDHL6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/344/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The cast was amazing reading the Charles Busch play as if they wrote the lines themselves. What other book might you compare The Divine Sister to and why? Judith of Bethulia, Whores of Lost Atlantis and anything Charles Busch. Because Busch's ability to retell a story from the contemporary point of view, and make you feel its Bette Davis narrating it cigarette in one hand and a drink in another one. Which scene was your favorite? The big reveal, no spoiler here but the coughing scene between the lead Nun and her new benefactor. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, then start all over again as my default 'music; while I head for the office. Any additional comments? Someone should ask the South Park guys to buy it and make it into a musical like The Book of Mormon. Starring Chita Rivera, or Nathan Lane as the Nun in question.
