Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Kathryn Grody’s narration is nothing short of brilliant in this audiobook, perfectly complemented by Gail Merrifield Papp’s own voice. The combination creates an intimate atmosphere that draws you deep into the narrative. Each story feels lived and loved, making it hard to turn away even when descriptions of life backstage can be challenging. The pacing is excellent, with each chapter building on the last, creating a sense of momentum that keeps you hooked. While some moments delve heavily into personal grief, these are handled with such grace that they enhance rather than detract from the overall experience. Public/Private isn’t just about celebrating the Public Theater; it’s also a profound reflection on love and loss, making it a deeply moving listen.
