À propos de cet audio

 An amateur production of The Tempest provides a colorful backdrop for a hilarious look at unrequited love. Mathematics teacher Hector Mackilwraith, stirred and troubled by Shakespeare's play, falls in love with the beautiful Griselda Webster. When Griselda shows she has plans of her own, Hector despairs on the play's opening night.©1951 Clark, Irwin & Company, Ltd. (P)1997 Blackstone Audio, Inc. Classiques Fiction Historique Spirituel

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Davies's characters fascinate, and his gentle, graceful style makes no demands on the reader. His civilized prose should read well aloud - indeed, Davidson helps one hear its strengths. He provides an intelligent, expressive, well-paced rendering of the narrative...as well as vivid impersonations of the characters." ( AudioFile)
"An exercise in puckish persiflage." ( Toronto Star)

This book is for anyone who likes a large cast of odd characters interacting and butting heads. The dry wit of this story (and narrator) had me grinning like a fool at times. And I even laughed out loud. A+
There were a lot of names to figure out (and different names depending on who was talking) so that was confusing at first. I also read a summary of the Tempest as I was only vaguely familiar with it, which was not necessary, but did help.

Great, once you get into it
