I initially started listening to the Audible full cast recording of this play but, as it is not one I am greatly familiar with, I found it hard to follow. I ended up reading along with the recording and enjoyed it greatly. It is the story of two old friends who are the kings of Bohemia and Sicily and a case of mistaken jealousy which drives them apart and destroys the marriage of one. This play is generally cataloged as a comedy because it does end happily. However, at the outset it appears to be a tragedy. The performance includes Sinead Cusack, Dame Eileen Atkins, and a brief appearance by Sir John Gielgud among others.
