Such Stuff As Dreams

De: Thomas Garlinghouse

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A struggling Hollywood Golden Age screenwriter collaborates with the world's greatest playwright.

It’s 1936 and Hollywood screenwriter Joe Holliday has a secret. He can see and communicate with ghosts. But because of a difficult childhood, he has long suppressed his ability.

When the mercurial head of Apex Studios tasks him with writing a modern version of a Shakespeare play, Joe gradually regains his ability. Reopening himself to the spirit world brings him into contact with an old acquaintance—someone from his very distant past. This persistent, and very illustrious, spirit has a different writing task for him—some unfinished business the two had embarked upon over 400 years ago.

When these two tasks ultimately come into conflict, Joe is forced to choose. It is a decision that will have far-reaching, life-changing consequences.

Peopled with imagined and real characters, such as Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, and a very famous writer, Such Stuff as Dreams is part ghost story, part tale of “Hollywood’s Golden Age,” and part chronicle of a man’s journey through the buffeting winds of love, change, loyalty and things remembered.
