Hunter S. Thompson - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey into the Heart of the American Dream.

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS is an audio play, with backing music, based on Hunter S. Thompson's classic book. It was recorded to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the book's publishing. The musical background includes several classic rock songs referenced by the text.

Principal cast includes:
Harry Dean Stanton (narrator);
Jim Jarmusch (Duke);
Maury Chaykin (Gonzo);
George Segal (Dr. Bloomquist);
Joan Cusack (Lucy);
Jann Wenner (Rolling Stone Editor);
Todd Snider (Hitchhiker);
Harry Shearer (Cop At Flamingo Registration, Executive Director and Police Chief At D.A. Conference, Biker At Mint 400, Lacerda, Dwarf, Sound Equipment Man, Voices Of Nixon and Walter Cronkite);
Buck Henry (Desk Clerk);
Jimmy Buffett (Cop In Desert).

A theater-of-the-mind, 25th anniversary audio version of Hunter Thompson's substance-fueled journey into the savage heart of the American Dream, performed with obvious relish by a dream cast of counterculture vets and latter-day hipsters. Among the standouts: Harry Stanton as the dryly laconic narrator, downtown filmmaker Jim Jarmusch as the Duke (Thompson's alter ego), Buck Henry as a sinister desk clerk, and Spinal Tap's Harry Shearer as a fatuous police chief. This was recorded before Terry Gilliam's 1998 film version with Johnny Depp, and in some ways it's even more faithful to its mad, visionary source material.
