Merry Devil of Edmonton

이 도서에 대하여

Tucker Brooke, author of The Shakespeare Apocrypha (available separately here at Librivox), notes that "The external evidence which has been collected to prove Shakespeare's authorship of The Merry Devil of Edmonton is of the most dubious kind" though it includes "the play's presence in the 'Shakespeare volume' of Charles the Second's library" Regardless of whether it is really Shakespeare, though, "Certainly the vitality of the scenes, the heartiness of the humour, and the unsurpassed delicacy in the portrayal of true love and true friendship, make The Merry Devil of Edmonton one of the most delightful of all the pseudo-Shakespearian plays to read and to re-read." - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Sir Arthur Clare: Beeswaxcandle Sir Richard Mounchensey: Jim Locke Sir Ralph Jerningham: HelloCentral Henry (Harry) Clare: VocalPenguin Raymond Mounchensey: GaleHall Frank Jerningham: Chris Pyle Sir John, a Priest: Greg Giordano Banks, the Miller of Waltham: redrun Smug, the Smith of Edmonton: Alan Mapstone Bilbo: Adrian Stephens Blague, the Host of the George: Tomas Peter Brian: Kerry Adams Raph, Brian's man: James R.
