Read in English by ToddHW; Alan Mapstone; Larry Wilson; Son of the Exiles; Lydia; Tomas Peter; Mike Manolakes; Dave Lantz; Adrian Stephens; Matea Bracic; Sonia; Devorah Allen; Algy Pug; ambsweet13
"This remarkable melodrama [The Double Dealer] - for a comedy it can scarcely be called... Is it possible to imagine a more inextricable tangle? No human brain can keep the threads clear for two consecutive minutes.... What wonder if audiences were at first baffled and fatigued by the effort to follow the outs and ins of this Labyrinthine plot. Well may Lord Touchwood say: 'I am confounded when I look back, and want a clue to guide me through the various mazes of unheard-of treachery.' " - Summary by William Archer, editor, 1912
