John Cleese Reading Screwtape Letters
3 comments | Permalink
I mentioned in a comment that it's too bad John Cleese's recording of Screwtape Letters is no longer available. It turns out I was wrong. As another commenter noted, you can download it at Audible.com for $7.49.
The recording was done 20 years ago. I probably first heard it (on audio cassette) 10 years ago. Cleese's reading--or reenactment--is brilliantly entertaining (and edifying!). I'd highly recommend it.
Update: Mark Tubbs points out in a comment: "Also, it should be pointed out that you can only take advantage of the $7.49 price for the download if you sign up for at least three months at that price, billed on a monthly basis. Regular price for a single download is $10.49."

Wow. Never would have pegged anything done by Cleese as edifying. Funny and entertaining, yes, but never edifying. I look forward to seeing this.
Brando,
Cleese's performance in the 1980 BBC version of Taming of the Shrew is edifying (if you consider Shakespeare edifying, of course). I completely agree, however, that the majority of Cleese's antics are non-edifying.
Also, it should be pointed out that you can only take advantage of the $7.49 price for the download if you sign up for at least three months at that price, billed on a monthly basis. Regular price for a single download is $10.49.
I have it on audio cassette and would say without hesitation that $10.50 is well spent on Cleese's version.
