Presenting an original audiobook performance of the stage production of My Name is Lucy Barton, starring Academy Award and Tony nominee Laura Linney.

Praised as "deeply affecting" and "heartbreaking" by The Guardian (UK), this is a faithful adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout's best-selling novel of the same name.

Unsteady after an operation, Lucy Barton wakes to find her mother sitting at the foot of her bed. She hasn't seen her in years, and her visit brings back to Lucy her desperate rural childhood, and her escape to New York. As she begins to find herself as a writer, she is still gripped by the urgent complexities of family life.

Published as the play comes to Broadway after a highly-acclaimed UK run in 2018, this is a unique opportunity to hear Laura Linney's "simply superb" (The Times UK) performance of this haunting, dramatic monologue.

My Name Is Lucy Barton was originally produced by Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr for the London Theater Company at the Bridge Theatre in June 2018. Produced on Broadway by the Manhattan Theater Club, Lynne Meadow, Artistic Director, Barry Grove, Executive Producer and The London Theater Company, in association with Penguin Random House Audio.

The narration was fantastic capturing Stouts writing authentically. I wasn't ready for the reading to end.

Amazing performance, fantastic, storytelling by the author! I absolutely recommend this audiobook. This made me want to read all of the books about the lead character Lucy.

Fantastic story and performance!

I enjoyed the story. The performance was what kept me engaged. I finished it in one sitting. It did leave me with questions but not in a bad way. It was a sad story and I felt really bad for Lucy and her mom. They both loved hard lives.

This is a great example of when people say” I could listen to so-and-so read the phone book. “ Laura Linney is one of the best actresses and she brings a lot of drama, heart and humor to a play as interesting as looking at pages and pages of numbers.

Great actress- No story

After 15 minutes in, I didn’t want to hear anymore. The protagonist’s voice, and it nagging complaining quality were obnoxious.

Complaing whiney protagonist

Laura was lovely, the story was lousy. If you can ever call it a story.

Don’t bother
