Acerca de esta escucha

What’s the cost of comfort? In The Fever, playwright, actor, and cultural icon Wallace Shawn (My Dinner with André, The Designated Mourner) captures the crisis of conscience of a privileged American traveler visiting a war-torn country. Faced with the disparity between her rarified world and the real world, she can’t help but wonder if she’s part of the solution or part of the problem.

Three-time Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor (Six Feet Under, American Crime) stars in this profoundly engaging and provocative journey, directed by The New Group’s founding artistic director Scott Elliott.

Creative Producer: The New Group

Lili nails the tone with discovery rather than blame and as a result we are left to ponder. Exquisite writing comes to life.

Captivating

more of random thoughts on a specific topic then any kind of story. that's not bad just not what I was looking for.

more of a poem than a story

Compelling and thought provoking. Describes many charitable thoughts and feelings within most of us.

I recommend

I've Loved Lili Taylor's work ever since the the first independent film I've watched her in. She did a great job with a less than interesting story. I actually listened to it twice because I wanted to like it and I thought maybe I missed something, but there wasn't anything really to miss.If it weren't for her I'd probably only give this one star all the way

I love Lili Taylor, but this story wasn't great.

Not an easy listen, very worth. Made me think about what we take for granted, and how we make decisions to keep taking them for granted.

Amazing

An American born woman travels to a poverty-stricken country in hopes to find a way to help. In the safety of her hotel room, she gazes out the window and reflects on what she sees: poverty, war and inequality.
We hear her inner thoughts on the situations at hand. And she asks herself the same think we’ve all wondered at some point: are we truly helping solve the problem or are we just a part of the issue? We who live in countries with more privileges take a lot of our daily lives for granted. We have a tendency to want to help but with no idea how to truly make a difference.

Inner monologue

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
It is disturbing that our lot in life is determined by pure chance; almost completely determined by where and to whom we are born. I’m blessed to have been born in a country that is not run by an evil despot where the government takes most of the resources while their citizens suffer, a country where I have many freedoms. Compared to a huge percentage of the world I am wealthy, but I live month to month; one crisis and I could lose everything. The way economics work it is much more likely I will fall into poverty than become a millionaire.

Could I give more of my money away than I do? Sure; however, you can look around and see that it is questionable how much it helps. Does it get to the right people or do the corrupt governments take it? If it gets to the people do they even know what to do with it so that it can really help them? It is sad to see so much poverty and suffering, but me giving away all I’ve earned just adds me to the problem; it wouldn’t be enough to pull anyone out.

Thought provoking

Stunning. This piece asks huge and necessary questions for this moment. It’s dense, demanding the listener engage. In a world of too easily digestible junk food, this is a wonderful feast that demands to be shared. More than worth the work to digest this work.

A Must Listen

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
This story, a bit confusing at first, really made me pause and think about social classes, capitalism, socialism, haves and have not. Why is privilege given to some and not others? What do we "deserve" our high status (or low status). This is an ugly, hard look... but worth while!

Thought Provoking

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
The story is an expose on humankind's narcissistic self absorption, even when the pain and suffering of others is presented to him with choices to help others.

HAPPY the MAN..
