Yma Dream
A story for people with difficult (but musical) names. "Yma Dream" chronicles a bizarre evening of tongue twisters and tolling bells.
Written by Thomas Meehan, originally published in the New Yorker Magazine
in 1962.
Read by Christine Baranski.
Reading taken from WNYC's Selected Shorts, recorded live at Symphony Space.
Thomas Meehan has written the books for the Broadway shows "Annie,"
"The Producers" and "Hairspray."
