À propos de ce contenu audio
As renovations begin at the Shakespeare Theater of Memphis, life for the core members of the company seems to be falling into disarray. Their trusted director has just retired, and theater manager Thaddeus Deerforth—staring down forty and sensing a rift growing slowly between himself and his wife, Gina—dreads the arrival of an imperious, inscrutable visiting director. Claudette, struggling to make ends meet as an actor and destabilized by family troubles, is getting frequent calls from her ex-boyfriend—and also the narcissistic, lecherous television actor who has been recruited to play King Lear in their fall production.
Also invited to the cast is Malcolm Ruark, a disgraced TV anchor muddling through the fallout of a scandal involving his underaged niece—and suddenly in an even more precarious situation when the same niece, now eighteen, is cast to play Cordelia. As tensions onstage and off build toward a breaking point, the bonds among the intimately drawn characters are put to extraordinary tests—and the fate of the theater itself may even be on the line.
Deftly weaving together the points of view of Thaddeus, Claudette, and Malcolm, and utterly original in its incorporation of Shakespeare’s timeless drama, Playhouse is an unforgettable story of men and women, human frailty, art, and redemption—a work of inimitable imaginative prowess by one of our most renowned storytellers.

“Transporting and true . . . Chock-full of events both large and small, and issues both timely and timeless . . . Bausch holds us most rapt when he directs our attention to the vexingly wobbly line between authenticity and art.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A masterful, lyrical satire . . . In many ways, Playhouse is a send-up of culture-making itself . . . Playhouse showcases both poetic description and double-edged dialogue. Any given paragraph can provoke a sigh, then a snort . . . This is domestic tension at its finest.” —Chapter16
“[Bausch is] an expert of dialogue . . . Often the discussions touch meaningfully upon King Lear, particularly those involving the actress who has removed her ailing father from a care facility against her stepmother’s wishes.”—The Wall Street Journal
