[PT Caffey]

Steppenwolf Theater Company member Austin Pendelton's play, Orson's Shadow, is now available in a CD-audio version from LA Theater Works. Details below:

Orson's Shadow
By: Austin Pendelton
Starring: Glenne Headly, Martin Jarvis, Simon Templeman

"Sir Laurence Olivier. Orson Welles. Vivien Leigh. Joan Plowright. Kenneth Tynan. When these champions of the theatre get together to rehearse Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, mere mortals best step aside. With lightning wit and scathing insight into the true nature of genius, Austin Pendleton’s new play opens the private worlds of these very public people, exposing their warmth, their egos, and their glittering madness."
Running Time: 116 minutes

Thanks for the link, PT. I've seen Orson's Shadow on stage twice and enjoyed it very much both times. This CD was announced quite awhile ago, but it looks like they've finally got the go ahead to start selling it. Good news.
