Reviews
Hamilton
Ziffy
This is not one of the excellent audio versions of great plays available on Librivox. This is a low-budget version of a mediocre play, read by Librivox volunteers. And while I appreciate what Librivox is trying to do with limited resources, it was difficult to listen to. It was painfully obvious that each reader recorded their lines in isolation, with wild variations in sound quality and inconsistencies in pronunciation and accents. Above all, the reading of stage directions was superfluous.
