Download Samson Agonistes AudioBook Free
Samson Agonistes, the 'remarkable poem' by John Milton, was released in 1671, 3 years before the poet's fatality. Written by means of a Greek tragedy, with the Chorus commenting on the action, it uses the biblical storyline of the blind Samson as he wreaks his revenge on the Philistines who've imprisoned him. A robust subject, with an individual resonance for the blind Milton, this is a perfect be employed by the medium of audiobook, where poetry and theatre can be balanced equally. This production, designed for BBC Radio 3, broadcast in 2008 and aimed by John Tydeman, features Iain Glen in the title role, with Samantha Connection as Dalila, Philip Madoc as Harapha and Michael Maloney as the Messenger.
