The Frogs
Aristophanes
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Athens is in a sorry state of affairs. The great tragedian, Euripides, is dead, and Dionysus, the god of the theater, has to listen to third-rate poetry. So, he determines to pack his belongings onto his trusty slave, Xanthias, and journey to the underworld to bring back Euripides! Hi-jinks ensue. (Summary by Libby Gohn)

good play
prusc
great job by many in the cast but unfortunately there were several readers who were very difficult to understand so that I had to read along with a book. but what's the point of an audiobook when you need a written text too?
Nicely done everyone.
skyrise.
I enjoyed it. I know there are a few complaints about the accents, but I didn't find it too bad, In fact, I think the frogs worked really well. thank you.

the cast was great except for the Dionysus character. He was much too difficult to hear at times

Sorry, but I can't understand the Indian accented reader. So I gave up in the 1st chapter.
