    Henry may be the wittiest playwright of his generation, but he’s hopelessly naïve when it comes to understanding love and infidelity. Writing about betrayal is one thing, living with it is another. After Henry leaves his wife for another woman, he’s confronted with being the cuckold himself. Both dazzlingly clever and emotionally naked, Henry’s search for the “the real thing” in art and love demonstrates beautifully why both are worth the effort in the end.
    
    Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center in November 2008.

    'NBC University Theater’ initially started in Chicago with a remit to bring adaptations of classic novels, usually Anglo-American, to a radio audience. 
    Additionally, if listeners signed up they received college credit to a radio-assisted correspondence course.  A study guide, The Handbook of the World's Great Novels, was available for 25 cents. 
    In its later years it also included short stories and plays and went on to win the distinguished Peabody award. 
    Unlike many other radio shows University Theatre did not pursue the glamourous stars for its productions but instead relied on excellent distillations of the novels and first class acting alongside high production values. 
    But now its time to enjoy these timeless novels. Let’s begin.

    Philip Marlowe was the most hard-boiled of gumshoes, a Private Investigator who could smell a ruse, taste a betrayal and track down anyone hiding in the shadows.   
     
    The radio series was so successful but by 1949 it had the largest audience of any radio show.  That’s quite a claim, and even if not absolutely accurate it’s near the mark.   
     
    Marlowe, created by Raymond Chandler, is someone we all seem to know, a door who’s door we would  knock on in times of trial.  His methods might not be totally within the law but hey, these were bad people he was up against and as anyone in the law business knows – needs must. 
     
    Gerald Mohr is Philip Marlowe. And he’s ready for his next case.

    It’s 1992 and Horace dreams of becoming a rockstar with his band the Pointy Birds. The only problem is that his day-job (mis)filing vinyl in a Soho record store is stealing all his time and energy, plus rival bands like Suede, Blur, Pulp and Radiohead are moving on to bigger and better things. But then someone called Ricky offers his services as a band manager and at last the dream can start. 
    Anoint My Head is the tale of a band who didn’t become rich, or famous but had a manager who did. It is also the story of a musical era, and documents the rise of some of the biggest British Britpop bands of the nineties, plus a comedian who went on to write quite a successful sitcom about a paper merchants in Slough. 
    A coming-of-age story about pursuing your dreams and what happens when reality gets in the way.  
    Perfect for fans of Caitlin Moran, Nicky Hornby & Ricky Gervais. 
    ‘Captures the time and the aspirations of a young band brilliantly. A great eye-opener into the absurd thought process of what it might take to headline Glastonbury!' Steve Lamacq BBC 6 Music 
    ‘All the fun of youthful dreams and the poignancy of disappointment - plus a remarkable A-list cameo. Magnificent.’ Phil Harrison Time Out / Guardian  
    ‘Hilarious warts-and-all story of a Britpop band whose big ambitions did not meet their talents’ Dan Carrier Camden New Journal 
    'Super-evocative, Proustian and a wonderful walk down memory lane.’ Mark Bowen Wichita Recordings 
    "A healthy measure of Nick Hornby with a dash of Adrian Mole had he joined an indie band. Just the tonic for these serious and uncertain days. Bottoms up!' Josh Levay Pointy Birds keyboardist/naysayer 
    “If Spinal Tap had been an indie band in 1990s Britpop London. Brilliant!” Dave Macleod
