    "Well Done - and better than the movie!"

    Better than the movie (which I loved) because (1) there is no corny romance element to the story; and, more importantly, (2) the defending attorney does not shame the aspiring novelist for having undermined the Captain, but he rather shames the aspiring novelist for having effectively removed a mine sweeper during the most dangerous period of the War in the Pacific. This slight variance is important and it makes it clear that the stakes were super high and the impact of such a mutiny had the potential impact on more than just the reputation of a distinguished captain, but rather on the outcome of the war. Based on this, I am inspired to read Woulk's Winds of War and War and Rememberance.

    "Get the movie"

    Not sure what it was, but I loved the movie, and liked the audible of the book but this radio dramatization(based on the book) didn't work for me. Get the movie--and Mr. Roberts while you are at it.
    And for great audible of Herman Wouk, get Winds of War and War&Remembrance, you won't be disappointed.

    "Great Dramatization For the Play"
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (Dramatized) to be better than the print version?

    Most Definitely. The voice actors really bring Wouk's play to life. If only we could get an audio version of the full novel, though...


    What did you like best about this story?

    Hard to say.


    Which character – as performed by Full Cast – was your favorite?

    As with the full novel, Queeg. He is so pathetic that you really feel sorry for him.

    Story
    "A modern day mutiny"

    This is a dramatization of the book Caine Mutiny. It is a short play that kept me glued to my IPod. This story makes a nice break between long complicated books. I remember the movie with Humphrey Bogart as Captain Queeg. Herman Wouk based the story on some of his experiences in the navy but it is a novel. The court room drama is riveting and Wouk builds his characters through the testimony given. This book is a classic.

    "Not much to add"

    Just wanted to say I agree with the other 5-star reviewers. Most of the LATheaterworks productions are great, and this is one of the best. I've never seen the movie so I can't compare, but on its own, this play was incredibly entertaining and engrossing. One of the best courtroom dramas of all time.
