WTF's A Streetcar Named Desire on Audible

Their audio production with Audra McDonald and Carla Gugino has been released on Audible. Here is a link: https://www.audible.com/pd/A-Streetcar-Named-Desire-Audiobook/B08NWBDKD3?qid=1607009212&sr=1-7&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_7&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=CBS190GR84Z2P3A380RX

Hope everyone enjoys listening to it!

I still don't understand doing these as audio plays....

Does it include audio descriptions (similar to what blind/visually impaired patrons use when watching a Broadway play/show.)

I listened to the 5 minute sample and almost fell asleep. Then I watched Carla Gugino’s interview about the piece and she said they recorded it “off camera” with none of the actors being able to see each other. They wanted to see what that “experiment” would yield. ACTORS WHO CANT LOOK AT EACH OTHER WHILE ACTING? I’ll tell you what it yields. A snooze fest.

I think they are assuming that most people know Streetcar well enough that they can shortcut on this. I think it was a misstep.

I hope this gets a proper staging in the future. The cast is amazing.
