The Heiress
By: Ruth Goetz, Augustus Goetz
Narrated by: Chris Noth, Amy Irving, Full Cast
Length: 2 hrs and 3 mins
Produced by L.A. Theatre Works.
Leave it to L.A. Theatre Works to turn what easily could be a boring play into something that is worth hearing, and will keep the listener listening.
LATW produces many plays into audiobook and everyone has a great cast and the production puts you right in the middle of the audience of the performance.
This time around Amy Irving plays Catherine who already has a decent income (especially considering that this is the 1850s and she's a woman) from when her mother passed away. She is set to inherit a large sum when Dr. Sloyer (her father) passes and people know it.
When a young treasure hunter seeks Catherine's hand, her father is determined to put a stop to the man's persuit. Catherine believes his professed feelings to be real, her father knows otherwise.
A tale of love lost, this performance is well acted and performed. I decided halfway through that it was not my cup of tea, but since the performance was so good I had to keep listening. LATW always gets me listening to plays I would probably normally pass on.
