Story
Read in the style of a secret diary, this famous sequel to I, Claudius gives a wry and human view of the Roman world, bringing to life some of the most scandalous and violent times in history. Claudius has survived the murderous intrigues of his predecessors to become, reluctantly, Emperor of Rome. He recounts his surprisingly successful rule; how he cultivates the loyalty of the army to repair the damage caused by his nephew Caligula; his friendship with the Jewish King Herod Agrippa; and his invasion of Britain.

The politics of empire-building and the hypocrisies, back-stabbings, and corruptions of Rome's first family come to light. First published in 1934, the book retains a marvelously modern and often comic tone, and is written in the form of Claudius' autobiography. This is gripping stuff, read by one of our finest actors, who also starred as Claudius in the classic television series.

Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists.

Publisher's Summary
A full-cast dramatisation of Robert Graves' brilliant account of the madness and debauchery of ancient Rome, starring Tom Goodman Hill as Claudius and Derek Jacobi as Augustus. The wickedly entertaining inside story of the lives and deaths of the Imperial dynasty from Augustus to Caligula is told by their obscure relation, Claudius. In public, Claudius is a stammering, drooling weakling, whose reputation as an idiot keeps him safe from office and assassination. But in private, he's as sharp as they come, and keeps a secret history of everything he discovers. Until one day, as one of the few of his family left alive, he's acclaimed Emperor against his will. Can he save Rome from the corruption he's grown to detest?
Featuring Derek Jacobi (who won a BAFTA for his performance as Claudius in the acclaimed 1977 BBC television production) as Augustus, and with an all-star cast, this gripping dramatisation will enthral anyone who loves the decadence of Ancient Rome.

I, Claudius lover impressed with abridging
As a great fan of the books and the BBC adaptation for television, it was with some trepidation that I allocated last month's credit to an 'abridged' title. Lured by the presence of Derek Jacobi, a man marred only by his crackpot views on the authorship of Shakespeare's body of work, I was once again transported to Robert Graves' version of first century Rome. The voice-acting was superb, and I was only occasionally saddened that this or that part was missing. Mostly, I was having far too good a time to notice. Thanks very much for having this wonderful performance in your catalogue.

Audio Theater at its BEST
What did you love best about I, Claudius (Dramatised)?
About to take my first trip to Rome, I chose this to get myself into the mood. It was a wonderful experience listening to these actors perform. I've never seen the PBS series, but I could picture it just listening to this performance of I, Claudius.
Have you listened to any of Derek Jacobi and Tom Goodman Hill ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I'm a big fan of Derek Jacobi and I wish he had a larger part in this.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened to this book over several weeks. It's an easy book for car listening.

Great Audio Theater
As a fan of both the book and the classic BBC TV miniseries starring Derek Jacobi, I couldn't resist trying out this audio drama version of I, Claudius--especially as it stars some of the great British theater actors, including Jacobi as Augustus, and it recently won an Audie Award for full cast recordings.
What a great piece of audio theater it was! I was so drawn into the story, the characters, and the life of the early Roman Empire that I literally couldn't stop listening. (Since I normally listen as I walk, this was also quite good for my figure!) You find you don't miss the visual element at all--each character is clearly separate and your imagination paints the scene. Great story, great acting--who could ask for more?

Why the credits after each chapter?
An intriguing story which is well performed. Unfortunately the credits after each chapter interrupt the mood and flow of the story. It makes one think that the performers think their acting is more important that the story itself. Would you enjoy watching a movie if after each scene the credits were to roll grandly announcing each of the actor’s roles?

The best audio drama I've ever heard, period!
This brilliant 6 hour BBC production of Roman history drama "I, Claudius" is the BEST audio drama I've ever heard in my life, period! <3 <3
I loved the 1976 BBC TV series of "I, Claudius," one of the best miniseries ever made. This riveting audio drama is the best made since the TV series. Rich and poetic language, acting, music, sound effects etc. It was PERFECT and thoroughly enthralling! Full of murder, betrayal, sex, violence, politics, deception, and drama.
The audio drama was about as brilliant as the TV series. I actually wanted more traffic and a longer commute to listen to it.
Surprisingly, Derek Jacobi plays Augustus, not Claudius. Tom Goodman-Hill brilliantly copied Jacobi's Claudius voice so well I forgot it wasn't Jacobi! Tom deserved an award for his mesmerizing performance.
If you think Trump is extreme in corruption and depravity, no one beat the Roman emperors and their families.
Next I start the audiobook for "I, Claudius" the novel, by Robert Graves. Thank you soooo much for making this, BBC! You give joy to generations!

Not quite the mini-series but still brilliant
I was a huge fan of the BBC mini-series and couldn't help comparing this to that. While there were, naturally, a lot of similar moments, there were also a ton of differences. Specific moments I loved from the mini-series just don't appear here, while there are scenes and characters from the audiobook that are completely absent from the mini-series. One big difference is that Herod plays a much smaller role here than he did on screen. He is still part of the story, but appears far less often and is much less important. Still, the audiobook was great in it's own right and it was a pleasure listening to Derek Jacobi playing Augustus. I will definitely listen to this again.

Just OK
There is no comparison to the OLD BBC production, but given the positive reviews I had to give it a try. It is OK. This Livia is no Sian Phillips. While this production captures some of the overall feel it is missing most the snap crackle and pop that makes the older production so riveting.

The Original Book is Cleverer and Better
I first read I, Claudius as a fourteen year old schoolgirl - reading it for about a hour every morning of one summer term at Boarding School from 6 to 7 am. It remains a favourite of mine. Since I enjoy listening to books as I iron, wash-up, cook, clean and stitch I was delighted to find this Audible recording. Robert Graves's writing is so clever, as is his storytelling but alas this does his writing no favours. Don't buy this dramatisation - it falls between the subtle joys of the book and the excellence of the BBC's old TV Dramatisation. This radio version moves too fast and leaves out all the details. I will keep searching for a cover to cover reading of the book itself. Good books really suffer if they are abridged as most of the insights and jokes inherent to the writer's viewpoint are lost and all that remains is a pale shadow of the original even when it is described as a dramatisation.

classic at its classical best
Where does I, Claudius (Dramatised) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
top score - really enjoyed it
What did you like best about this story?
the style, clarity of speech, story line so excellent and the smooth transition between Jacobi and Tom Goodman Hill - remembering the TV drama series i wondered if i would appreciate the change of reader but it worked wonderfully
What does Derek Jacobi and Tom Goodman Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Their diction and emotional acting is excellent - they are classical actors who shine in their profession
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
See who helped trip Rome up before its fall
Any additional comments?
Excellent - worth full price but see if you can get it on sale - then your pocket will be as happy as you spirit will be for listening to such an excellent tale.

Excellent production
This BBC production of I,Claudius is epic and gripping from the start.
One of the curiosities I found was trying to associate Jacobi's voice with Augustus, due to his great performance as Claudius in the 70s BBC television series. It is not difficult to distinguish the two and at first I thought I would be disappointed in the roles, but Tom Goodman Hill plays Claudius just as well, perhaps better than Jacobi could possibly repeat the performance, given his age (and the age of the character)
Even the intro music before each chapter had me excited, and the story kept me awake many nights just to keep going. It's as thrilling as watching any tv series.
As with HBO's Rome: this drama is full of people you love to hate, and can't wait to see the end of, and you hope it will be tragic for them. You won't be disappointed; but sadly, I Claudius, is a tale of tragedy for all characters, especially p-poor C..C..Claudius.
I couldn't recommend it any more highly. 5 stars.
(Connosieurs note: I have not read the book, so cannot compare the two)

Having seen the TV series several times (many hours of fabulous acting), this was a great story but despite the wonderful acting skills of participants, far too short for such a huge history. So much was missed or rushed and I would have gladly listened to 20 hours but for those who did not have the opportunity to see the acclaimed series on TV, this will still be a joy.

I first read this aged 15 on the bus on my way to and from a State Comprehensive School and throughly enjoyed and appreciated it for all its wit and insight, despite the inherent historical liberties. I felt this to be an outstanding adaptation producing a fine piece of radio drama. One of the best BBC productions they broadcast in quite a number of years. Superb cast with great production values. Gripping from first to last. Can’t wait to listen to it again.
