The production was a joy, and the content satisfying. ( ) I didn't know anything about this play when I started. This full-cast recording by the Los Angeles Theatre Works was one of this past summer's SYNC offerings & they are generally good but otherwise I went into this blind. Within minutes, I was laughing out loud -- I found this play, set in 1879 London, hilarious! I would love to see it on the stage but this audiobook was excellent. The Explorers Club is a farce in which a scientific society in Victorian England is presented with its first female candidate for membership. The level of humor is juvenile, and the sexism and racism are too overdone to be funny. Some of the humor is apparently physical, which doesn't translate well to an audio format. The most worthwhile part of the recording is the 20-25 minute concluding interview with author Eileen Pollack, who talks about her undergraduate experience as one of two female physics students at Yale. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
London, 1879. The prestigious Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting president wants to admit a woman and their bartender is terrible. True, this female candidate is brilliant, beautiful, and has discovered a legendary lost city, but the decision to let in a woman could shake the very foundation of the British Empire, and how do you make such a decision without a decent drink? Grab your safety goggles for some very mad science involving deadly cobras, irate Irishmen, and the occasional airship. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
