About this listen
The two men haven't spoken since. But they are forced to deal with each other 30 years after the fact, when Benny's daughter wins a career-making role in a hot new play Leo is directing.

This warm recording of a live L.A. Theaterworks performance of playwright Jeffrey Sweet's historical-political play The Value of Names recreates for listeners the feel of being in a sold-out theater. Featuring a full cast including renowned Hollywood actors Hector Elizondo, Garry Marshall, and Sally Murphy, the play considers the aftereffects of McCarthyism, when Benny Silverman, a retired actor, faces the prospect of his daughter acting in a play directed by Leo Greshen, the man who "named" him in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Funny, thought-provoking, and political, The Value of Names is a unique listening experience for fans of the stage.
