Forsters 1908 romantic satire about Brits of the middling upper crust is famously sharp, funny, silly, and benevolent. L.A. Theatre Works scripted adaptation honors all of the novels best qualities, with a slight emphasis on the plots silliness, which shrouds but does not obliterate Forsters social commentary. No matter how you listenfor madcap froth or to skewer bourgeois pretentionsthere is much to relish in this production about Britons abroad and at home. Elinor Tomlinsons Lucy is nave and sincere; Julian Sands, who played young George in the 1985 film, returns believably as Georges bluff, kind father. Eugene Simon does a soulful turn as George. Rosalind Ayerss Aunt Charlotte is heartbreakingly snobbish. And Matthew Wolfs Cecil Vyse is perfectly pompous. Enjoy. AudioFile
