Stories by Heart January 20, 2011

Armed with only an armchair and some yellowed pages, Tony Award winner John Lithgow tells you not the story of his life, but the stories of his life. Indelible stories spun by the likes of P.G. Wodehouse and Ring Lardner. Stories lovingly--and expertly--dramatized by his parents and grandmother, handed down from generation to generation. In Lithgow's adroit hands, each story is its own theatrical masterpiece brimming with peculiar characters, humor, plot twists and --most of all Lithgow's inimitable charm, stagecraft and genuine affection for the tales and the storytellers who introduced them to him some 60 years ago.
