As a young boy growing up on the outskirts of Dublin, the stage and screen
legend sought refuge in a world of imagination among the fields and hills near
his home, at the edge of a rapidly encroaching city. Moving between sensual
recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and commentary on
stardom, the actor-writer returned to Broadway and Audible to reflect on a
life’s journey.

acclaimed work takes on a new persona in our present day, with terms like toxic
masculinity and male fragility at the forefront of the zeitgeist.

Imagine if you made one little mistake when you were young and were punished for
it for the rest of your life. Well, that’s what happened to Lydia (yes, that
Lydia, the youngest Bennet sister from Pride and Prejudice), and she’s here to
set the record straight. Hold on to your teacups and get ready for sophisticated
(and a little bit naughty) hot takes and witty banter that’ll make you laugh—and
think. We meet Lydia just as she is denounced by her family, exiled miles from
home, and married to the rogue George Wickham, who seems to love all
women...except his own wife.

Stop me if you’re heard this one: Veteran comic Chauncy and social-media star
José are the very definition of “opposites attract”. But sparks, and jokes, fly
after the two of them embark upon a beautiful romance for the ages...two vastly
different ages. Starring Drew Droege and Gabe Gonzalez, The Comedians is a
modern queer love story, told through individual stand-up acts. We hear the ups
and downs of their journey—from falling hard to failing harder than a botched
punchline—in this hilariously relatable play about love, loss, and, above all,
"The Laugh".

very nature of reality.

Stop me if you’re heard this one: Veteran comic Chauncy and social-media star
José are the very definition of “opposites attract”. But sparks, and jokes, fly
after the two of them embark upon a beautiful romance for the ages...two vastly
different ages. Starring Drew Droege and Gabe Gonzalez, The Comedians is a
modern queer love story, told through individual stand-up acts. We hear the ups
and downs of their journey—from falling hard to failing harder than a botched
punchline—in this hilariously relatable play about love, loss, and, above all,
"The Laugh".

Written and performed by London-based actor and poet Jade Anouka (His Dark

divorced at age 28. As she begins the process of piecing her life together, she

Stop me if you’re heard this one: Veteran comic Chauncy and social-media star
José are the very definition of “opposites attract”. But sparks, and jokes, fly
after the two of them embark upon a beautiful romance for the ages...two vastly
different ages. Starring Drew Droege and Gabe Gonzalez, The Comedians is a
modern queer love story, told through individual stand-up acts. We hear the ups
and downs of their journey—from falling hard to failing harder than a botched
punchline—in this hilariously relatable play about love, loss, and, above all,
"The Laugh".

While the father wrestles with feelings of guilt, the mother is convinced she’s
spotted the boy in frightening TV news reports...though let’s just say he looks
nothing like the precocious little boy they remember from a decade ago.

UNCOMPROMISING AND FANTASTIC



As a rule, I don't do horror, but I was intrigued by the premise of this one so
I went for it and within minutes I was hooked. (My dog got an extra-long walk
out of this one-and-done listening binge!) An Audible Emerging Playwrights'
commission from James Fritz, this experimental piece employs audacious
storytelling and sophisticated sound engineering to create a horrific but also
incredibly beautiful production. Amid the backdrop of madness and horror there's
so much humanity here. The father in the story is 100 percent Nick in Gone Girl.
He's guileless but untrustworthy, with that 'aw shucks, who me?' quality that’s
both enraging and endearing. And the two women in the story are so recognizable,
so sympathetic—even if their stories push the boundaries of believability—that
your heart will hurt for them. My verdict: Skyscraper Lullaby is the most
bizarre and compelling thing I've listened to all year. I love that this story
didn’t hold back, it just went for it. And so should you.

CONNECTION THAT SPANS GENERATIONS



I haven’t felt this connected to characters in a long time. Good Enemy tells
multiple stories, time-jumping between 1984 and 2021, as Howard (Francis Jue)
tries to improve his relationship with his daughter, Momo (Geena Quintos). As
things unfold, you begin to understand that Howard’s past life in China is his
ticket to a future with his daughter. It’s hard to pick my favorite part, but in
a play filled with complex topics of oppression and isolation, the comedic
timing of Yilong Liu’s production cannot be overlooked. From Howard meeting
Momo’s boyfriend to his disdain for social media, I couldn’t help but think of
my own father. I still remember teaching him Facebook and regretting it
instantly. Now, I wouldn’t give up that memory, though my dad might! It’s a
reminder that the unspoken bond between people matters. Human connection
matters. And so does this listen.

AN EVENING WITH ALI STROKER



Anyone who’s ever witnessed Ali Stroker onstage never forgets the joy and
enthusiasm she brings to her roles. I first saw her when she made history as the
first actor in a wheelchair to appear on Broadway when she appeared in Deaf
West's acclaimed 2015 revival of Spring Awakening. Then she transformed the role
of Ado Annie in an unconventional revival of Oklahoma! in 2019, winning the Tony
Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. Now, Ali brings her warmth and
passion and jaw-dropping singing to her one-woman show, which she developed with
her husband, director David Perlow. Recorded this past spring at the Minetta
Lane Theatre in New York City, it encompasses personal stories, favorite songs,
and pop hits. Just watch out: Ali's rendition of Aretha Franklin's Natural Woman
will make you want to belt it out no matter where you're listening.

I straight up humiliated myself while standing in line at a taco truck because I

national treasure, his performance as the doctor is so real and so effortlessly
hysterical. Really wonderful story that digs into men’s insecurities and lays

NYC, 2013. During late night trips on the A train, we get snapshots of Tyrone's
life - his close relationship with his mother, his attempts to flirt with a
coworker, Niesha, his job as a bouncer, and his dreams of going back to school.
As new traumas accumulate, Tyrone's world becomes as claustrophobic as the
subway car, with as few opportunities to exit or change course.

and the mysteries multiply in this mind-bending audio play that investigates the
very nature of reality.

   4.5 out of 5 stars 2,554



Four-time Tony Award® winner Harvey Fierstein takes on New York City’s very own
political firebrand, Bella Abzug, in his new raucous, heart-rending, and
absurdly humorous solo show. Set in 1976, on the eve of her bid to become New
York State’s first female senator, Bella Bella finds this larger-than-life,
truth-slinging, groundbreaking, hat-wearing icon squirreled away in the bathroom
of a midtown hotel awaiting that night’s election results while a coterie of
family and celebs await her entrance. Directing is Kimberly Senior (The
Niceties).
