About this listen

This entertaining introduction to Shakespeare's work weaves biographical information with excerpts from 33 of his plays. Informative, well-researched commentary, written by two Royal Shakespeare Company actors, provides a glimpse of the man and little-known lore about his work.Public Domain (P)1998, 2003 CSA Word

Critic reviews

"Hampton and Weston avoid an overly scholarly approach and present Shakespeare as flesh and blood....Dench is of course splendid....these solid vocal cords will melt listeners, thaw them, and resolve them into dewy delight." (The Philadelphia News)
