About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Purgatory of St. Patrick by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. (Translated by Denis Florence MacCarthy.) Read in English by a full cast. This is a "mystical drama founded on the lives of Saints. Mr. Ticknor prefers it to the more celebrated 'Devotion of the Cross,' and says that it 'is commonly ranked among the best religious plays of the Spanish theatre in the seventeenth century.' In all that relates to the famous cave known through the middle ages as the 'Purgatory of Saint Patrick', as well as the Story of Luis Enius — the Owain Miles of Ancient English poetry." - Summary by The Translator Cast list: EGERIUS, King of Ireland: Larry Wilson PATRICK: Mike Manolakes LUIS ENIUS: Adrian Stephens A GOOD ANGEL: Devorah Allen A BAD ANGEL: Availle PHILIP: Alan Mapstone LEOGAIRE: Jim Locke A CAPTAIN: Algy Pug POLONIA, Daughter of the King: Rapunzelina LESBIA, her Sister: Matea Bracic PAUL, a Peasant: ToddHW LUCY, his Wife: Sonia A Muffled Figure: Sandra Schmit Old Man: David Purdy First Canon: Joanna Michal Hoyt Second Canon: David Purdy Prior: Andrew Gaunce Stage Directions: Tchaikovsky Editing: ToddHW
