STORIES BY HEART

With natural ease and absolute charm, Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe Award-winning actor John Lithgow lets the listener in on a not-so-well-kept secret: He loves the theater, and he loves a good story. In this superb one-man show he combines the two and dramatically delivers two short stories by two of his all-time favorite authors: "The Haircut," by underappreciated American curmudgeon and satirist Ringer Lardner, and "Uncle Fred Flits By," by one of the English language's greatest humorists, P.G. Wodehouse. The stories ring with human truth and absurdity. Best of all, Lithgow tells a few stories of his own, recounting his childhood travels with his family, who were performing summer-stock Shakespeare. What a delight to get to know the man and his stories a little better. B.P. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2018]
