Bill Nighy – Love Hurts


Love Hurts offers up four souls suffering from affairs of the heart. These stories by Steve Almond, Ron Carlson, Arthur Miller, and Pamela Painter will charm you, move you, and leave you wanting more.

And BAFTA Film and Television Award winner Bill Nighy (Love Actually, State of Play) introduces a new Olympic sport as he battles his ex-wife for the gold medal in Ron Carlson’s hysterical story “The Gold Lunch”, first published in Ploughshares.

Bill’s (about 15 minutes of Billiciousness) part is recorded live at the Rex in Soho, London as part of a Wordtheater benefit for Cure Autism Now. This is the performance that was scheduled for the charity reading in California in September. This is indeed live, and it doesn’t get better than this. You wish you were there. And it definetely leaves you wanting more.

You can buy/download it from several sites, but the cheapest seems to be:

Spoken Network ($4.95 ex. vat)

Audible.co.uk has it too.

Be aware that the audio files do not play on a Mac.
And a bit more info about the CD.

    You know, part of me is glad he was not able to attend the event here in Los Angeles. If I had heard him read this live, I would have certainly imploded on the spot. This is not for the faint of heart or Brie cheese-ophobes!

    It is hilarious! Well, implode for a number of reasons I suppose…the tub talk. Ouch! I found it both funny and sad, but he seems to have that effect on me. I mean I nearly cried over his Yorkshire Tea adverts. I suppose I could blame hormones instead of Bill, but I choose the latter.

Have your say
