The John Waters Screenplay Collection

di John Waters (Autore)

Macmillan Audio, 2025

A collection of John Waters essential screenplays, adapted for audio. Listen as Waters himself acts out each role in the most delightfully deranged and iconic classics of American filth, camp, and trash! John Waters takes us back to the scenes of his most beloved films, as well as his original crimes against good taste. In this inimitable audio collection— which includes Pink Flamingos, Flamingos Forever, Hairspray, Female Trouble, Desperate Living, and Multiple Maniacs—Waters voices every single character, jumping back and forth between all the demented roles. Listen as Waters plays Babs Johnson, fighting to hold on to her title as “Filthiest Person Alive,“ or Tracy Turnblad, as she learns she will be a featured dancer on the Corny Collins Show, or Dawn Davenport, as she gets her first hairdo at the Le’ Lipstick beauty salon. Waters takes us on a romp through his camp and filthy vision—from nefarious baby-stealing lesbians to scenes of unspeakable things done to unsuspecting chickens—as well through the more optimistic world of 1960s Baltimore in his bubblegum masterpiece, Hairspray. Reflecting on his role as the narrator, Waters remarks, “Finally I get the opportunity no other film director would want; to go over the top of ‘line readings’, beyond multiple-motion-picture-disorder into a new dimension of celluloid insanity, and perform every single role in my movies out loud for your twisted enjoyment. That’s right, from Divine right on down to the filthiest day player, I am now, for the first time, the entire cast of Multiple Maniacs! Pink Flamingos! Female Trouble! Desperate Living! Hairspray! Flamingos Forever! Aural anarchy or cinematic schizophrenia? You be the judge. Go ahead, play it. You won’t believe your ears.” A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
