Summary

Judith Anderson and Anthony Quayle perform 'Medea', an ancient Greek tragedy written by Euripides. It is based upon the myth of Jason and Medea and first produced in 431 BC.

The plot centers on the barbarian protagonist as she finds her position in the Greek world threatened, and the revenge she takes against her husband Jason who has betrayed her for another woman.

so so

Full marks to the suppliers for trying- we don't have nearly enough classic drama avaiable on Audible, but this is pretty old and more care should have been taken in the remastering- if it ever was remastered.

Riveting, excellent performance.

I was glued to my seat listening to such a commanding performance. Bravo to all involved.

Poor sound quality

Medea is a fabulous play but, not for the faint hearted, it’s a gruesome story. Sadly the recording is of very poor quality in places. But overall still worth a credit. Also it’s worth it’s weight in gold to purchase the Rex Warner translation so you can follow along (most of the time).

sound quality unlistenable

Volume on full and could still barely hear a word. I tried adjusting via my equaliser but nothing helped. Waste of money.
