“Fast-paced, splendidly performed entertainment. Led by Ryan Vincent Anderson as Tibbs and James Morrison as the police chief, the ensemble, under the direction of Brian Kite, gives Ball’s story an engrossing audio presentation reminiscent of the days when radio drama was in its prime. More than just a satisfying detective story, the production effectively conveys the mood of simmering hostility that existed in smalltown America during the Civil Rights Movement.”

Publishers Weekly


Based on John Ball’s novel that inspired the Oscar-winning film and the Emmy-winning television series, this drama pits a visiting black detective from California against a small Alabama town simmering with anger over desegregation. A fitting reflection of America in the 1960s, this off-Broadway hit is provocative, timely, and uncomfortably relevant.

This is an L.A. Theatre Works full-cast recording, featuring Ryan Vincent Anderson, Michael Hammond, Kalen Harriman, Travis Johns, James Morrison, Darren Richardson, and Tom Virtue.

This performance was directed by Brian Kite and recorded before a live audience by L.A. Theatre Works.
