Falls flat

I had thought that this play was so well-written that any reading would be wonderful.... I was wrong. This recording cannot begin to compare to Peter O'Toole's and Katherine Hepburn's Henry and Eleanor. What particularly hurt this recording was Eleanor's timing - so much was missed.

Clever and Witty

Where does The Lion in Winter (Dramatized) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This dramatization of the play was well done, made me wish I were seeing it rather than just hearing it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lion in Winter (Dramatized)?

There were several witty quotes, my favorite being "I'm villifying you for God's sake, pay attention."

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The different actors helped to give each character depth, and brought some of the history into the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

And you thought your family was bad!

Any additional comments?

Dramatization is not my favorite medium, but this was well done.

Magnificent

great. story...Peter. O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn cannot be replaced however. Still a great yarn however

one of the best plays ever.

it's Charming witty dramatic comedic and Rife with memorable lines. one of my favorites is quote love in a world where Carpenters get Resurrected anything's possible. in my theatrical life I've had the opportunity to play Geoffrey twice and Henry once. it's a play that I will go out of my way to see at every opportunity.
