John Barrymore was the black sheep of America’s most illustrious acting family. Celebrated for his charisma and matinee idol looks, he was for awhile America’s most popular actor. Famous for his stage roles in Richard III and Hamlet, he also made more than fifty films. But alcoholism soon dissipated his talents, and he became known more for his Falstaffian behavior and outrageous high jinx than for his art. In Barrymore, William Luce has adapted his acclaimed Broadway hit especially for audio in this stunning production.

William Luce wrote his Broadway and London success The Belle of Amherst for Julie Harris, who won her fifth Tony Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Emily Dickinson. The record album received a Grammy Award. The PBS production won three Christopher Awards. Thames Television's production of Belle starred Claire Bloom and won an International Emmy Award. Luce's plays include Brontë, Lucifer's Child, Lillian, Bravo Caruso!, and The Last Flapper. Mr. Luce is twice a Writers' Guild Award nominee for his CBS movies The Last Days of Patton starring George C. Scott and Eva Marie Saint, and The Woman He Loved, starring Jane Seymour, Anthony Andrews, Olivia de Havilland and Julie Harris.
