The 50th episode of Dress Rehearsal reflects on the theme of Health vs Disease through the eyes and experiences of American Journalist Norman Cousins, who was given no chances of recovery from a seemingly incurable disease and who devised his own cure mainly by "laughing" and watching funny movies. During the hour several excerpts will be played, from a 1984 fictional movie that bears the same title as Cousins’ book, Anatomy of an Illness, to a complete public radio broadcast aired in 1983, in which Cousins presents strategies for healing and life-long well-being. All accompanied by musical excerpts by Samuel Barber and Johann Sebastian Bach. Don't miss it!
