About this audiobook
Starring Anne Heche and Jared Harris, the hilarious Henceforward... is one of Alan Ayckbourn’s most unusual works. In the near-future, a composer with creative block tries to re-unite with his estranged wife and daughter, hoping their reconciliation will free his mind to create his greatest musical masterpiece. But his own erratic impulses hinder his journey to creative freedom.
An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance starring Jared Harris as Jerome, Anne Heche as Nan (act 1) and Corrina, Jack Davenport as Mervyn, Paula Jane Newman as Geain, Moira Quirk as Zoe and Nan (act 2), and Darren Richardson as Lupus.
This recording also includes a conversation with playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn.
