This is great. Was not expecting the dad from Bad Boy Bubby to be reading Prometheus Unbound but incredibly strange juxtapositions and the varied talents of people is one of the few things I like about our time
Hung out a bit with Ralph in Chiang Mai (I lived there for about decade). I'd been an actor in Sydney and had dinner with once in the early 80s. This was wonderful. Sad to hear of his passing but happy to hear he'd made it to 91! Wonderful bloke!
We did this in Drama workshop many years ago once .we where walking arcoss the room , different lines by different different people I ssid the line im not yet born The words have never left me
What an extraordinary video, and reading. Stunning! Thank you so much. Dear Ralph, we will miss you. This video left me hungry for more. That said, what you left us is extraordinary. Many, many thanks. MUCH appreciated. Thank you!
Ralph Cotterill passed away on 7/05/23 at 91 years of age. Ralph was a tremendously talented stage and film actor, having studied his craft at the Drama Centre in London in the 1950s before joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1960s. In 1973 he came to Australia, where his abilities brought him wide-ranging roles and many plaudits. Away from the lights and camera Ralph was not one to draw attention to himself, yet he did so by sheer weight of his presence. Intelligent, well-read, humble; a great actor and irreplaceable friend. R.I.P. Ralph, you will be missed by all: those who witnessed you on stage and those of us lucky enough to know you 🙏

I chose to read this (well I listened to the video while reading along) for a course in a creative writing masters program. Wonderfully written and masterfully recited. Thank you for posting this almost 8 years ago for me to find today.
Beautiful reading and music! Many thanks for sharing. I find it interesting to note the importance of Prometheus as a figure to the Shelleys and their circle. Percy wrote this, Mary wrote "Frankenstein", whose full title is "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus", and Byron, who was close to the Shelleys, also wrote a poem titled "Prometheus".
I always struggle with interpreting syntax the most. Your reading helped me gain more insight into how the lines work. I find it intriguing that when read aloud, every performer I've seen reads "I call/that piece a wonder, now" without a pause between "wonder" and "now" despite the comma, which only makes me wonder about the significance of the comma.
Amazing and hauntingly beautiful. My book did not have the full version so this also opened my eyes and your comment too gave me heaps of beautiful information which helped a lot. Again Thank You
Wow!! Very good narration sir!! I am pleased to see the sculpture of Lord Shiva Lord budha and many more dieties in the rock...these are Indian God's and happy to see there ...😍😍
