Acerca de esta escucha
Two Presidential candidates - one a rising Illinois legislator, the other a bombastic US Senator. Obama and McCain? Think again. In this transcendent Broadway play, the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates tackle the day's most passionate issue - slavery. Their battle comes to life through the eyes of Adele Douglas, wife of candidate Stephen Douglas. Challenged by the charming man from Illinois, she reexamines her basic beliefs about the American concept of freedom.

Sir Laurence Olivier. Orson Welles. Vivien Leigh. Joan Plowright. Kenneth Tynan. When these champions of the theatre get together to rehearse Ionesco's Rhinoceros, mere mortals best step aside. With lightning wit and scathing insight into the true nature of genius, Austin Pendleton's new play opens the private worlds of these very public people, exposing their warmth, their egos, and their glittering madness.

Reseñas editoriales
L.A. Theatre Works' first-rate audio presentation brings to life the historic debates between rising legislator Abraham Lincoln (David Strathairn) and incumbent Senator Stephen Douglas (Paul Giamatti) during the Illinois Senate race of 1858, as seen through the eyes of Senator Douglas's wife, Adele (Lily Rabe). The vocal performances of Giamatti and Strathairn are gripping as they speak text taken from the actual debate speeches. With humor, passion, and vitality but, thankfully, no attempt at impersonation, this expert audio production dramatically encompasses an assortment of issues, including human rights, state's rights, and slavery. Delivered by two actors at the top of their game, the play perfectly illuminates two of the most charismatic politicians of any age.

Lincoln & Douglas - together at last!
This was a stage play mainly about the Lincoln-Douglas debates during Stephen A. Douglas' 1858 reelection campaign for the U.S. Senate, and drawing upon the newspaper transcripts of those debates for a major portion of the dialogue (sort of a "best of" compilation of the debates). The narrator (most of the time) is also the actress portraying Mrs. Adele Douglas, as the story of the play is told from her point of view. David Strathairn plays Abraham Lincoln, and Paul Giamatti ("John Adams" from the HBO miniseries) plays Douglas. There are also a male actor (a Republican organizer in Act 1, a newspaper reporter in Act 2) and a female actress (a spokeswoman for the Grundy County Democrat Ladies' Auxiliary in Act 1) portraying minor roles. This was an enjoyable brief account of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, with an epilogue-like section late in Act 2 summarizing the 1860 presidential campaign, and how Douglas sacrificed his last months of life making pro-Union speeches North and South in an attempt to hold the United States together and prevent the Civil War, thus finally ending the rivalry between him and Lincoln which had given this play its title. An enjoyable listen for a longish commute or a short road trip. Recommended!
