Like the rest of the theater world, the Williamstown Theatre Festival has spent a year shut down. But that gave it the chance to put a season’s worth of adapted-for-audio productions online with Audible Originals, where you can reach them without a three-hour drive to northwestern Massachusetts.
As with any theater season, some plays are better than others, though all feature first-rate casts (some of them with big names), as well as top-notch sound effects and interesting post-show interviews with playwright, director or both. As a whole, it’s quite an achievement.
And the full seven-play season is included with an Audible Plus online membership, $7.95 a month.

Equestrian events are the only Olympic sport where both men and women compete together. ‘And they don’t discriminate against the horse’s sex either,’ Goldstein said.
Danielle Goldstein Waldman attracts attention wherever she goes, even when she isn’t riding the horse on which she hopes to compete in the 2020 Olympics, which will be held in Tokyo this summer.

It’s not often you get to write a review that is also a preview. However, since the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s world premiere of the musical “Row” has just been released by Audible Theatre and almost simultaneously with the release it was announced it would be given a live production at the festival this summer, this is a two-for-one recommendation for the show.
