No Great Magic by Fritz Leiber ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

No Great Magic by Fritz Leiber audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Greta has nowhere to go and no past she can remember. Agoraphobic, amnesiac, and living like a backstage orphan, she has been taken in by a scrappy Shakespeare repertory troupe that performs in Central Park. From the safety of the dressing room and its wonderland of costumes and props, she stitches hems, fetches wigs, and watches strong personalities collide - especially Sid Lessingham, a grandstanding actor-manager with a taste for theatrical experiments, and Iris Nefer, a chillingly intense leading lady who can become Elizabeth I in a heartbeat. But on a night when Macbeth is scheduled and Queen Elizabeth appears anyway, Greta begins to suspect that the companies anachronisms are not just artistic liberties. The costumery seems to reach across centuries, the curtain itself feels less like cloth and more like a boundary, and the troupe's strange mix of accents, habits, and secrets hints at a larger game. As reality and performance blur, Greta is drawn toward a hidden conflict in which art can sway crowds - and the right scene, played at the right moment, might tilt history itself.
