LA Theatre Works Airs THE RIDE DOWN MT. MORGAN 10/24

This weekend, beginning Saturday, October 24, L.A. Theatre Works will air The Ride Down Mt. Morgan by Arthur Miller, starring Brian Cox, Jenny O'Hara, Amy Pietz, Kirsten Potter, Gregory Itzin and Saidah Arrika Ekulona. The broadcast can be heard locally in Southern California on Saturday from 10 pm to midnight on KPCC 89.3 FM, and can also be streamed on demand at http://www.latw.org/.

It's the height of the extravagant 1980s, and powerful executive Lyman Felt has it all: wealth, success, and the kind of good, solid wife he needs. He also has another wife: the kind of earthy, sexy woman he wants. Lyman juggles his artful lie until a car accident on the slippery slope of Mt. Morgan lands him in a hospital bed... and both wives in the waiting room. But really, is there any such thing as just an accident?

Following the performance, LATW talks with Robert M. Collins (Author, Transforming America: Politics and Culture During the Reagan Years) about Mt. Morgan and the social, political, and economic climate of the '80s.

Theatre Works' radio theater series can also be heard on the following stations (check local listings for broadcast times): 89.7 WGBH, Boston, MA; 91.5 WBEZ, Chicago, IL; 94.9 KUOW, Seattle, WA; 90.1 WABE, Atlanta, GA; 94.1 KPFA, Berkeley, CA; 91.1 KRCB, North Bay (San Francisco, CA); 89.1 KVPR, Fresno, CA; 89.3 KPRX, Bakersfield, CA; and many other stations nationwide.
