Sneak Preview: 'I'd Rather Eat Pants'

NPR | By Susan Stamberg
Published December 13, 2002 at 12:00 AM EST

Starting Dec. 16, Morning Edition premieres its first original radio play, "I'd Rather Eat Pants." The five-act play, starring Edward Asner and Anne Meara, is a comic tale of an elderly couple's cross-country trek on a young slacker's motorcycle. They're in search of fame, fortune and a whole lot more. NPR's Bob Edwards and Susan Stamberg have cameo roles.
