About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Great Galeoto by José Echegaray y Eizaguirre. (Translated by Hannah Lynch.) Read in English by a full cast. "What touches us more closely is Echegaray's manipulation of the modern conscience, and its illimitable scope for reflection, for conflict, and the many-sided drama of temptation.... Not even Tolstoi, with all that delicacy and keenness of the Russian conscience, that profound seriousness, which moves us so variously in his great books, has a nobler consciousness of the dignity of suffering and virtue than this Spanish dramatist. And not less capable is he of a jesting survey of life." Echegaray won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1904. This play was made into movies several times in both its original Spanish and in English. - Summary by The Translator Cast list: Teodora, Wife of Don Julian: Nissy Don Julian: Greg Giordano Dona Mercedes, Wife of Don Severo: Sonia Don Severo: Alan Mapstone Pepito, Their Son: Adrian Stephens Ernest: ToddHW Rueda, A Witness: Sandra Schmit Servant at Don Julian's: Andrew Kennedy Ernest's Servant: Joanna Michal Hoyt Stage Directions: Availle Editing: ToddHW
