One of my OverDrive libraries has many of the LATW offerings and I find them very well done and most entertaining, without exception. I especially like them in the summer, to listen to while swimming.

Nora has everything a young housewife could want: beautiful children, an adoring husband, and a bright future. But when a carelessly buried secret rises from the past, Nora’s well-calibrated domestic ideal starts to crumble. Blackmail and innocence, love and hypocrisy, collide in one of the most celebrated plays in theatre history. Translated by Rolf Fjelde.

I've listened to a few of them also and really like them. It's a nice break from a traditional audiobook, and it's great that OverDrive carries many of them.
