About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Iphigenia by Jean Racine. (Translated by Robert Bruce Boswell.) Read in English by ToddHW; Alan Mapstone; Greg Giordano; Larry Wilson; Tomas Peter; Mark Kilkelly; Sonia; Jenn Broda; Joanna Michal Hoyt; Diana Helen Kennedy; Sandra Schmit Racine's version of the time-honored story of Iphigenia was acted for the first time in 1674. The model upon which it is shaped is the "Iphigenia in Aulis" of his favorite Euripides, but the French poet has heightened the romantic interest and complicated the plot by the important part which Eriphyle is made to play. - Summary by Introduction Cast list: Agamemnon: Greg Giordano Achilles: Alan Mapstone Ulysses: ToddHW Clytaemnestra, Wife of Agamemnon: Sonia Iphigenia, Daughter of Agamemnon: Jenn Broda Eriphyle, Daughter of Helen and Theseus: Diana Helen Kennedy Arcas, Servant of Agamemnon: Tomas Peter Eurybates, Servant of Agamemnon: Mark Kilkelly Aegina, Attendant of Clytaemnestra: Sandra Schmit Doris, Friend of Eriphyle: Joanna Michal Hoyt Stage Directions: Larry Wilson Editing: ToddHW
