Audio recording of ‘Life on Paper’ by
Kenneth Lin stars Sarah Drew, Seamus Dever

 

WHAT:
Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy, upcoming Freeform drama Cruel Summer) and Seamus Dever (Castle) star in the L.A. Theatre Works state-of-the-art audio recording of Kenneth Lin’s inspired-by-a-true-story play, Life on Paper. How much is one life worth? When a billionaire dies in a plane crash, a forensic economist butts heads with a small town actuary over the exact value of one man’s life. The cast also features Kevin Daniels (Coop and Cami Ask the World, Council of Dads, Modern Family), Summer Spiro (Platonic) and Mark Jude Sullivan (Michael Wakins). The director is Rosalind Ayres.

Life on Paper was a finalist at the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference. The recording includes a bonus conversation with the playwright and is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series of science-themed plays, with lead funding provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.
