    About this audiobook

    A Tony Award-winning play based on the novel Washington Square by Henry James - one of James’ most complex and satisfying portraits of the American character. Set in New York City in 1850, the play centers on the painfully shy Catherine and her austere father. When Catherine falls in love with a handsome suitor, her father threatens to disinherit her, convinced that the young man could only be interested in Catherine’s fortune.

    An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Amy Irving, George Gaynes, Chris Noth, Jane Beard, Helen Hedman, Maureen Kerrigan, Marty Lodge and Halo Wines.

      When I heard them call the maid Ma-ree-a instead of Mar-I-a, I knew we were in trouble. What is wrong with George Gaynes' speech? Dr. Sloper would have had better dentures. The stiffness of Catherine's early scenes seem to defeat Amy Irving but she does very well in the later scenes and is quite moving. The movie does improve this somewhat awkward play a lot.
