Great Galeoto

"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 [https://librivox.org/reader/16239] Don Julian:Greg Giordano [https://librivox.org/reader/8011] Dona Mercedes, Wife of Don Severo:Sonia [https://librivox.org/reader/10179] Don Severo:Alan Mapstone [https://librivox.org/reader/7170] Pepito, Their Son:Adrian Stephens [https://librivox.org/reader/13577] Ernest:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] Rueda, A Witness:Sandra Schmit [https://librivox.org/reader/10087] Servant at Don Julian's:Andrew Kennedy [https://librivox.org/reader/14361] Ernest's Servant:Joanna Michal Hoyt [https://librivox.org/reader/15580] Stage Directions:Availle [https://librivox.org/reader/4174] Editing:ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754]
