Author: Thomas Kyd

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 2 hrs 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12/6/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Audio Theatre, Drama

Publishers Summary:

The Spanish Tragedy, or Hieronimo is Mad Again is an Elizabethan tragedy written by Thomas Kyd between 1582 and 1592. Highly popular and influential in its time, The Spanish Tragedy established a new genre in English theatre, the revenge play or revenge tragedy. Its plot contains several violent murders and includes as one of its characters a personification of Revenge. The Spanish Tragedy was often referred to (or parodied) in works written by other Elizabethan playwrights, including William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Christopher Marlowe.

Many elements of The Spanish Tragedy, such as the play-within-a-play used to trap a murderer and a ghost intent on vengeance, appear in Shakespeares Hamlet. (Thomas Kyd is frequently proposed as the author of the hypothetical Ur-Hamlet that may have been one of Shakespeares primary sources for Hamlet.) (Summary by Wikipedia)

What has become of MRS. WANGEL?

I sought the answers near and far. At length they came, and here they are

Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

A pair of star-crossd lovers take their life;

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows

Do with their death bury their parents strife.

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 3 hrs 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Audio Theatre, Drama

Publishers Summary:

The Way of the World is a play written by British playwright William Congreve. It premiered in 1700 in the theatre in Lincolns Inn Fields in London. It is widely regarded as being one of the best Restoration comedies written and is still performed sporadically to this day.

The play is based around the two lovers Mirabell and Millamant (originally famously played by John Verbruggen and Anne Bracegirdle). In order for the two to get married and receive Millamants full dowry, Mirabell must receive the blessing of Millamants aunt, Lady Wishfort. Unfortunately, she is a very bitter lady, who despises Mirabell and wants her own nephew, Sir Wilful, to wed Millamant.

Other characters include Fainall who is having a secret affair with Mrs. Marwood, a friend of Mrs. Fainalls, who in turn once had an affair with Mirabell.

Waitwell is Mirabells servant and is married to Foible, Lady Wishforts servant. Waitwell pretends to be Sir Rowland and, on Mirabells command, tries to trick Lady Wishfort into a false engagement. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Language: English

Release date: 12/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Audio Theatre, Drama

Publishers Summary:

Inheritors, (1921) by American dramatist Susan Glaspell concerns the legacy of an idealistic farmer who wills his highly coveted midwest farmland to the establishment of a college (Act I.) Forty years later, when his granddaughter stands up for the rights of Hindu nationals to protest at the college her grandfather founded, she jeopardizes funding for the college itself and sets herself against her own uncle, president of the institutions trustees (Acts II III.) Ultimately, she defies her familys wishes, and as a consequence is bound for prison herself (Act IV.) The play was a stirring defense of free speech and an individuals ability to stand for his or her own ideal during a time of aggressive anti-Communist politics in the US. Inheritors was first performed at Provincetown Playhouse in 1922, the last of Glaspells plays presented there. It has been revived in New York City by Mirror Repertory in 1983 and Metropolitan Playhouse in 2005. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Pride and Prejudice, a comedy of manners and marriage, is the most famous of Jane Austens novels.

Perhaps a good introduction for someone not ready to tackle the complete novel ~ and for the reader familiar with the work, a laugh can be had at the changes that were made in order to adapt it to the stage (Summary by Maria Therese)
