Kevin O'Brien and Theater of The Word


I had the opportunity to see Kevin O'Brien live last night at St. Colman's in Washington CH. His theater company, The Theater of The Word Incorporated, presented The Journey of St. Paul. In the words of Kevin's web site:

This thrilling show will make you feel as if you've met the man himself - the most thrilling, outspoken, and courageous of the apostles. It's an encounter you won't want to miss!

I'm not sure how much advertising was done for the presentation, but it was pretty well attended.

After the presentation, I had the opportunity to speak with Kevin and I asked him about his dramatic reading of Father Brown. Specifically whose voice he meant Valentin, "the head of the Paris police and the most famous investigator of the world" to be. He confirmed, "Why inspector Clouseau, of course." I then asked him to autograph my CD box, and he graciously did so. Kevin also mentioned that he would be attending the upcoming Chesterton Conference in Seattle, WA. I told him I hoped to see him there.
