AT 33

Multiple AudioFile Earphones Award winner Barrie Kreinik offers a remarkable performance of Eva Le Gallienne's (1899-1991) first autobiography. Writing nearly 90 years ago, Le G tells the story of her rise as an actress, director, writer, producer, and founder of the Civic Repertory Theatre. Kreinik is so good that listeners will swear they're hearing the cultured, intelligent voice of Le G herself. Born to artistic parents and exposed to the literary and theatrical giants of her generation, Le G always knew she wanted to be an actress. She met and befriended her idols, Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse, and saw her dream of an American repertory company realized. Kreinik has arranged and modified Le G's story, and the audiobook resounds with her simple, unaffected truths. S.J.H.
