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!

Thanks Matt. Yes, Ralph was a dear friend, impossible to replace. I lived in Chiang Mai on and off for 23 years. We may have met at The Garden restaurant, the best place to hang with like-minded expats. Best wishes 🙂

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 🙏

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.

edfou5 I've been going there for 15 years, long before they made it a restaurant/coffee shop. It's still beautiful but it used to be sublime (no people!). You could sit for hours and not see a soul. It was like being in another world, and there were many more large sculptures. Word is already out I regret to say... sigh.
