Brief Lives

May 18, 2017

Life is fleeting in these three works presented by guest host Michael Cerveris.   Andy Warhol complains about fifteen seconds of fame in excerpts from his diaries read by Denis O’Hare.  A novelist borrows someone else’s tragedy in “The Young Painters,” read by Heather Burns.  And a young boy and his grandmother in rural Ireland make a dramatic decision in Claire Keegan’s “The Burning Palms,” read by Patricia Kalember.
