Discover Bad People, an Audio Play from award-winning playwright Kati Schwartz and narrated by Amanda Nicholas
Hello again, dear audiobooks friends! Today’s article is dedicated to Bad People, a serio-comic audio drama written by award-winning, playwright, Kati Schwartz.
The audio production is a little over an hour in duration, it is narrated by Amanda Nicholas, and promises to offer a hilarious and poignant window into the mind of a grief-stricken young woman. Using dry humor, unabashed nerd-ism, and cartoon dinosaurs. With Bad People, Kati Schwartz offers an intimate glimpse into vulnerability and complicity, and then into the harrowing processes of healing and self-acceptance after a #metoo experience.
Bad People is directed by Meredith Lucio, a New York-based director and producer whose credits include Porgy and Bess (2012 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical), and The Lightening Thief.
You can pick up Bad People from Audible, iTunes and Spotify, in audiobook format, or E-book and paperback at Amazon.com.
