Publisher's Summary
Time travel meets history in this new drama adaptation by Marty Ross.
'So tell me, Dr Maxwell, if the whole of history lay before you...where would you go? What would you like to witness?'
When Max, a recent ancient history graduate, is offered a mysterious job at St Mary's Historical Research Institute, she quickly comes to realise this isn't any old stuffy research library. At St Mary's the historians don't just study the past - they revisit it.
What begins as an academic exploration of events, such as the Peterloo Massacre, takes a dark and dangerous turn, and the historians of St Mary's soon learn that it's not just history they're fighting....
Follow the tea-soaked disaster magnets of St Mary's as they rattle around history. Because wherever these historians go, chaos is sure to follow.
Starring Gemma Whelan (SAG nominated, Game of Thrones, Gulliver's Travels), Ben Miles (SAG nominated, The Crown, V for Vendetta), Jonathan Bailey (Broadchurch, Leonardo, The Mercy) and Zara Ramm (narrator of the original Chronicles of St Mary's audiobooks), this Audible Original production will transport you to iconic moments throughout history, from the Cretaceous period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria.

I definitely am not a fan of audio movies!
I don't think this would be considered bad if you like this form of storytelling, but this had shown me that I definitely don't! I feel really awkward listening to this, there's not enough detail of what's going on for me to really become absorbed into the story, and the flirting/kissing scene at the end of chapter one was horrendous! It was so awkward and cheesy, I'm literally cringing just thinking about it!
I haven't listened to much beyond this (and to be honest I don't really want to continue), but I paid money for this which I'm not getting back, so I'm determined to at least get halfway through the story so I don't feel like it's fully wasted.
I don't think the voice actors themselves are actually all that bad, I think it's just the awkward/cheesy script and my inability to become absorbed into the story that makes them seem like they're overreacting. There's only one character so far who I think doesn't feel over acted (I can't remember his name), but his personality is so horrible he actually makes me want to puke!
The story itself seems interesting, and I think I'll get the audiobook or actual book version of this story, as I think/hope that the story is as good as is implied. I'm guessing the script for this is similar to the book, but what I've noticed through listening to a variety of audiobooks, is that the way the voice actors don't always portray or emphasise things the way you necessarily do as you read. I think these my imagination would make this less awkward and cheesy, so I don't think my issues with this audio movie would be too bad.
