THE QUEEN OF FOURTEENTH STREET

A talented cast of voice actors, including playwright Barrie Kreinik, dazzle in this audio original. The play tells the story of Eva Le Gallienne, a queer actor and director who founded a repertory theater in New York City in the 1920s. Her work revolutionized theater, but she struggled to keep her creation going during the Depression. She also had trouble balancing her personal life with her professional ambitions. Kreinik is stunning as Eva, capturing her intense larger-than-life personality. The remaining actors portray her various girlfriends, company actors, mentors, friends, and others. The production's impeccable sound design brings 1930s New York to life. A lively, moving listen about a fascinating woman who lived a fiercely queer life in the early twentieth century--this is audio theater at its absolute best. L.S.
