pickThis was SO much fun, and it made me want to read or re-read and watch all the plays discussed. One disappointment: I intentionally checked out the audiobook, because I wanted to hear this in Judi Dench‘s voice. I didn‘t realize her part of the conversations was narrated by someone else (my fault—it‘s clearly marked on the cover!). That said, once I got into it, I didn‘t notice so much that it wasn‘t her, and the conversations were a delight. ⤵️
BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) There was a lot more literary discussion than I anticipated, which was wonderful. It was fascinating to hear Judi‘s analysis of the characters she played over the years, as well as all her stories about each production. 3d

BarbaraJean @willaful Yeah, it was a disappointment that it wasn't her voice throughout, but honestly, listening to the bonus interview they included at the end, I could understand why they didn't just use the audio files from the interviews as the audiobook. So many little digressions and side comments! @TheBookHippie I hope you enjoy it!! 2d
willaful @BarbaraJean That reminds me of my favorite audio movie commentary, which is by the director of the musical “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.“ He's having such a great time watching the movie, sometimes he sings along. 😂 2d
BarbaraJean @willaful Hahahaha!! I love it!! 1d
