Lenny Henry used to hate Shakespeare. For over 35 years he avoided anything to do with the Bard – until, in 2006, he decided to find out just what the rest of the world saw in him. In this enthralling collection, we hear how Lenny’s late-flowering passion for the legendary playwright’s works set him on the path that led to his sell-out stage debut as Othello. Bringing together this behind-the-scenes journey with the final result, this collection culminates in Lenny’s standout performance in a dynamic full-cast radio production of Othello.

Tennessee Williams’s iconic work is an evocative memory-play about an eccentric Southern family revolving around the domineering Amanda Wingfield and her grown children: the cynical Tom and the fragile Laura. This L.A. Theatre Works production reunites the cast of the Roundabout Theatre’s celebrated revival, which earned Drama Desk Awards for Kevin Kilner as Jim, and, in her Broadway debut, Calista Flockhart as Laura.
