Pericles, Prince of Tyre (Dramatized) Audiobook

" Not my favorite of Shakepeare. It felt very dishoveled and there wasn't much progression on the characters. New characters were jumping in and out. "

" I read this is a Shakespeare seminar called Tragedies and Romances and I really enjoyed it! I forgot that I read it until I was flipping through my anthology looking for The Tempest and found it. I read through my old annotations and literally laughed out loud! "

" Pure dramatic as fuck. What *doesn't* happen in this play? I like Marina, who's essentially sex trafficked but remains a virgin by saying to every guy who comes to buy her, "What you doing in a brothel? Shame on you! I'll tell your mother! Scat! Get yersel tae chapel an' aw!" Or something to that effect. Good oan ye girl. "

" The mystery of authorship intrigues me about this play. It does not contain the beautiful ease of Shakespeare; it is awkward, clunky. But there are some flashes of incredible language. Worth exploring...because its rarely done on stage. "

" A great play by Shakespeare and Wilkins in a good student edition. "

" My most favorite of Shakespeare's least well known, even if it isn't ALL his. A gripping adventure story, and one I personally find wonderfully evocative. Love the setting and the language. "

" I'm not sure I've ever used the words "madcap" or "rollicking" in a review before, but they definitely fit here. I'm surprised I hadn't really heard of this play before I came across a copy of it at a book sale, because it's one of the more entertaining things I've read in a while. "

" Not my favorite Shakespeare by any means, but certainly an interesting one. "

" Some people complain that Shakespeare's plays are boring. I don't see how anyone could say that about Pericles. The plot moves fast, maybe too fast. I've heard people say it's a silly play, and it is, but it was fun to read. "

" a shakespeare play with gratuitous pirates and a prostitute who talks men into finding religion - what's not to love? "

" LOVED IT~!!!! It was just awesome! "

" Quirky. You can tell parts of it weren't written by Shakespeare at all. It's way more fun in play form, see it instead of reading it. "

" Virtue and goodness overcomes (even if eventually). "

" A nice picture of what a virtuous woman can do by good influence. "

" Not a Shakespeare with which I was familiar. It's fun, but not amazing; certainly not his best. (Scotland) "

" Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park 2001 (Dave Pasto) "

" Such a weird, weird plot, but a great play. Not inscrutable like Measure or All's Well. :) "

" F%&k you William!!!! Imagine if Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate's Daughter, actually got made!!! What a pile of crap. Based on the Monkeys on Keyboards Adage...one half-cocked drunk monkey....5 minutes. "

" Overall, this was a good play, but in comparison to some of Shakespeare's greater works, such as "The Tempest" and "Much Ado About Nothing," it seems sub-par. I still enjoyed it, though, and recommend it to anyone who enjoys Shakespeare's works. "

" this is not the edition i read but i needed to add this to my book list - it is by far my favourite of all of Shakesperes works. "

" A fun Shakespearean play. But because of the language/implications, it's sort of PG-13. Happy ending. "

" Not my favorite Shakespeare by any means, but certainly an interesting one. "

" NEVER read Pericles after reading Titus Andronicus. Not only was it boring, but it was BORING. Freaking goodie two-shoes. GAG. "

" Not very Shakespeare-like, but kind of fun and adventurous. Parts of it are very absurd but hey, whatevs. I guess you should put it on your list if you're doing a read through but it honestly wasn't my favorite. "

" Such a weird, weird plot, but a great play. Not inscrutable like Measure or All's Well. :) "

" Virtue and goodness overcomes (even if eventually). "

" I love the so-called Shakespearean romances: Pericles, Winter's Tale, Cymbeline, Tempest. This is a play about virtue and vice—the rewards of virtue (including patience and fidelity). "

" There is much argument about whether or not Shakespeare actually wrote this play, and how much of it he wrote if he did, indeed, work on it. Structurally and stylistically it is not quite up to some of Shakespeare's better-known works, but the tale it tells is interesting in its own right. "

" It was decent. A bit boring, a bit "all-over-the-place," but decent. I would have liked it better if the footnotes did not take up half the page. "
