What made the experience of listening to Love's Labor's Lost: The Arkangel Shakespeare the most enjoyable?
The performance is splendid and very engaging.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Samantha Bond as the Princess of France. Her voice is unique and her delivery always has an undercurrent of deliciousness.
On the other hand, she's the only character I recognize, and since Amazon/Audible doesn't think it is important to credit all the players with their parts in recordings of theatrical works, I might single out another character/performer but I have no idea who they are.
Amazon/Audible: are actors just fungible? Do they not matter? Why is a cast list (by character) not provided with EVERY recording of a play or other theatrical work?
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
Well this question itself demonstrates Amazon/Audible's lack of understanding of what recorded drama is. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE NARRATOR!!!!!
Duh!
But, the players in this recording are all wonderful, speaking freely, clearly and with great engagement. Their tone is contemporary, clear, and playful.
Just great theatre!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Love's Labor's Lost. Duh!!! Why does it need a tag line?
Any additional comments?
In addition to my comments above referencing the way Amazon/Audible obscures the actors and their roles in these recorded plays (yes, its that way with EVERY Shakespeare recording you sell), it is beyond frustrating to have this recording delivered with two "chapters" and no option for a proper Act/Scene breakdown. Each Act and Scene should be a separate track, so that you can easily listen to just a particular scene.
