This recording of the West Coast premiere of Clyman's 2007 Off-Broadway play starring Richard Schiff (The West Wing) and George Segal (Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?) centers on a young scientist's search for a cure for cancer. Its move from an audiovisual to a strictly audio performance is strikingly successful thanks to top-rate acting on the one end and smooth postproduction editing on the other. With each disc divided into approximately 20 tracks, this would make an especially useful teaching tool for aspiring playwrights and storytellers wanting to anatomize scene/act structure.
