Five Plays
By Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett Baron Dunsany
Length2h 50m
About this audiobook
A fine selection of Dunsany's plays, including: "The Gods of the Mountain, The Golden Doom, King Argimenes and The Unknown Warrior, The Glittering Gate, " and "The Lost Silk Hat." These plays are certainly old-fashioned, but are interesting trinkets nonetheless for the modern reader of Shakespeare, Tolkien, Lovecraft, etc. Their self-conscious old-worldliness more or less rules them out of a seriously approached modern-day staging, though a brave and skilled theater company might put "The Glittering Gate" or "The Lost Silk Hat" as a curtain show ahead of a Shakespeare or a Strindberg.
