Gulliver's Travels: A Signature Performance by David Hyde Pierce

Featured title on PBS's The Great American Read in 2018

Four-time Emmy Award winner David Hyde Pierce is famous for playing the lovably self-important Dr. Niles Crane in the hit TV series Frasier. Now, he brings the same wit and charming arrogance to his Signature Classics performance of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels.

More than just a mock travel book and fabulous adventure, Gulliver's Travels is a character study and social satire that skewers politics, science, religion, philosophy, and pretentiousness with a bite and resonance that remains as fresh today as the day it was published. Maybe that's why it hasn't been out of print in nearly 300 years.

Set sail with David Hyde Pierce for a smart, fun, new Gulliver's Travels experience that's unlike any other.
