This audio production is of the play being acted (~2010?) on a real stage by a reputable cast. It's a 2-hr play (or less) that is very accessible via this format.
A bonus is that, following the play itself, Norman Sherry (the academic who wrote the 3-volume definitive biography of Graham Greene) is interviewed by the producer (?) about Greene's complex life and its connection to the play. I knew nothing about Greene's life so it was a great introduction and well worth a listen. In fact, I listened to the ~20 minute interview several times.
