Compelling narration of Oedipus
P
(5 Sterne)
Despite the different accents, the play flowed surprisingly well and with clarity (be warned however, that the reading of the chorus can be appealing or off-putting, depending on taste). Andy Minter's reading of Oedipus was moving and sad. Many thanks to Librivox for creating greater access to Francis Storr's translations of Sophocles' works.
