One of my "read the bible in a year" efforts I accomplished via listening to an audio bible complete with different characters voiced by different people and a light amount of background sound (like if the setting was a market you could hear people and animals).
It wasn't a play. It was just the words in the bible. It added a whole new slant for me particularly with the book of Job and the book of Romans.
But I still "read the bible in a year" that year...just accomplished it by listening
