Listened to L.A. Theatre Works production of Durrenmatt's The Physicists as audio book. Very good. This is perhaps my favorite play, even though it is a flawed play. But the concept is so brilliant, the ending so moving, I can forgive the small imperfections.
The worst mistake here is casting children. This greatly reduces the productions this play gets and it would have been so easy to cover the very same ground without putting children on stage. If the script were more "practical," it would have reached a larger audience.
I continue listening to the brilliant reading of Greene's The Human Factor and I started Sean Penn's reading of Dylan's Chronicles, which does not disappoint.
Ah to be living in a hotel on a tropical island and sitting on the deck with an ocean view, listening to all this wonderful literature that the serial killers and torturers of the world have made possible in a zero-sum universe! We all are connected, you see.
