About this listen

In a rickety, converted 17th-century farmhouse in Dorset, England, a group of authors teaches a creative writing seminar. One of them - a brash American novelist - finds he's got more to learn about writing and romance than he ever dreamed possible.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring Ian Abercrombie as Jeremy Dean, Michael Brandon as Leo Rapkin, Christine Estabrook as Maude Locket, Jeremy Geidt as Henry Locket, David Hunt as Simon St. Clair, and Melanie van Betten as Penny Seawell.

Original music by Raymond Guarna.

Directed by Michael Bloom and recorded before a live audience.

I enjoyed the play. One of the English accents was hilarious - at first I thought she was playing lots of different characters however it was just one character but the accent roamed the whole UK.

Hilarious "English" accent!

very amusing and enjoyable play, good characters, good delivery, great performances, apart from the person who plays Jenny Sewell. The accent was awful and very distracting. couldn't work out where she was meant to come from.

very enjoyable

If an attendee at a writing workshop had submitted this to David Lodge I wouldn't have blamed him if he dismissed it as cliched and unconvincing.

Gamey
