Colm Toibin News

Iconic stage and screen performer Meryl Streep lends her recognizable voice to a new audio book adaptation of Colm Toibin's THE TESTAMENT OF MARY, recently seen on Broadway in a stage adaptation by the original author starring acclaimed actress Fiona Shaw.

Simon & Schuster Audio is proud to announce that Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep will narrate THE TESTAMENT OF MARY by Colm Toibin, recently long-listed for the Booker Prize and cited as one of The New York Times' Notable Books of 2012.The audiobook will be available on CD and for download on September 10, 2013.

THE TESTAMENT OF MARY, the controversial play which closed yesterday following just 16 regular performances, is now igniting a very different kind of controversy: an ad placed for the show on Sunday's New York Times includes a quote, attributed to the show's producer Scott Rudin, which reads: 'Let's give a big cuddly shout-out to Pat Healy, infant provocateur and amateur journalist at The New York Times. Keep it up, Pat - one day perhaps you'll learn something about how Broadway works, and maybe even understand it.'
