♦ About the Collection ♦
Audio Drama: The L.A. Theatre Works Collection is a cross-searchable resource featuring plays chosen not only for their literary significance, but also for their ability to challenge presumptions and examine complicated moral and ethical questions. Critical essays, annotated playlists, and scene-level indexing by known figures in medicine, academia, politics, and other fields will draw connections from the plays to issues and hot topics in the humanities, social sciences, theatre, hard sciences, law, medicine, and virtually every other field of study.
Just launched and currently featuring over 180 plays, Audio Drama will grow to include more than 300 recorded works. Optional downloads for every performance make the plays conveniently portable via personal handheld devices.*
