Related: Playwright John Strand Finds Muse in Scalia

The recording, done in partnership with L.A. Theatre Works, the nation’s leading producer of audio theater, will reunite the three main players: Edward Gero in an uncanny performance as Scalia; Kerry Warren as Cat, his liberal clerk and sparring partner; and Harlan Work as Brad, his conservative clerk. The play explores Scalia’s views and work through his relationship with Cat.

The recording will take place during two invitation-only performances in June. National Public Radio’s Nina Totenberg will lead postshow discussions as part of the broadcast.

Totenberg will be joined during the June 24 recording by assistant to the solicitor general John Bash, who clerked for Scalia in the October 2007 term and Tara Kole, partner in Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown of Beverly Hills, California, and a Scalia clerk in October 2004 term.

“We are honored to have the opportunity to record Arena Stage’s stellar production of John Strand’s The Originalist, which so beautifully captures the public and private persona of Justice Scalia,” L.A. Theatre producing director Susan Albert Loewenberg said in a statement. “We look forward to sharing this portrayal of his singular and fascinating legal mind with the listening public, teachers and students.”
