“Lorna Raver immerses herself in renowned Egyptologist Barbara Mertz’s fascinating and exquisitely detailed account of daily life in ancient Egypt. In a pleasantly modulated voice, with plenty of high drama and frequent witticisms, and no hints of pedantry, Raver takes us back thousands of years and introduces us to Egyptians of many strata…This is a long production, but it’s never boring. In fact, the time seems to fly by.”
