FROM A BURNING HOUSE THE AIDS PROJECT LOS ANGELES: The Aids Project Los Angeles Writers Workshop Collection

As the AIDS epidemic continues unabated, people living with AIDS are in danger of being overshadowed by AIDS "the issue"-- a topic for movies, political wrangling, and opinion polls. This powerful collection gives voice to the people-- those with HIV, as well as their caregivers-- who do battle at the front line of the epidemic. It is an intense celebration of life led at the precipice. The themes explored in "From a Burning House are simple and universal: love, fear, friendship, loss. But these works possess a unique quality, as they describe a world on fire, a world where lives are quickened by the reality of AIDS. For the writers in the workshop, the creative process can be healing. For the listener, the result is profoundly moving; a tapestry of writings that is at once witty, wise and a painfully vibrant connection to the way we live now. All royalties from the sale of this work will be donated to AIDS Project Los Angeles. Read by: David Hyde Pierce, Steven Weber, Richard Thomas, B.D. Wong, Joel Grey, Ron Rifkin, Dan Butler, Robert Foxworth, Megan Gallagher, Gordon Thomson, Kenneth Bartmess, Phil Curtis, John D'Amico, David Gardner, Christopher Gorman, John Mulkeen, Steve Smith, and Irene Borger.
