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.

Yes, invaluable insights indeed... and all cloaked interestingly in a narration that is peppered with animated dialogues. The voice-overs are superbly executed. Loved this audio book. - Arvind Passey - Blog: www.passey.info

Thoroughly enjoyed the performance and Lodge's self-reflexive humour. Readers of David Lodge would love it I believe.

Good performance, nice narrative
