In support of our ep. #87 discussing Sartre, the PEL Players present our 2nd annual dramatic reading of a work of philosophical theater.

Mark Linsenmayer and Wes Alwan are joined by real actresses Lucy Lawless (Xena, Battlestar Galactica, Parks & Recreation, etc.) and Jaime Murray (Defiance, Dexter, Warehouse 13, etc.), who are pals through working together on Spartacus.

Warning: This is a cold read, not a rehearsed production, for educational purposes only (meaning you're not allowed to have fun listening to this, I guess). For sure, you'll get your money's worth for this free product.

PEL Citizens can listen to amusing outtakes from this project.

You can read the version we read of this 1944 French existentialist play online here. You may also want listen to Mark explain Sartre's view of human nature and freedom and read more about the topic.

End song: "No Exit," by Mark Lint, freshly written and recorded for this occasion.
