Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, sometimes known more simply as Jekyll and Hyde, has enthralled and horrified listeners for over a century, so much so that the novella has impacted our natural language, with the phrase Jekyll and Hyde coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. It is a classic to study for GCSE and is full of complexities that need to be understood.

Amazingly helpful !
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend this for anyone studying. Easy to follow and explained in a way that the information sticks in your mind.
Any additional comments?
I accidentally bought the original audio for my daughter to use as a study guide not knowing about this series. I am so happy she found them as she said it has helped so much and have since bought others in the series too. Excellent !

Very Helpful
I have to read Shakespeare for my UCLA class. I was dreading just reading it by myself. We were encourage to watch performances of the production to help us understand what's going on. I had some extra credits at audibles, so I purchased this audio book which was very helpful.
The "Pass Master" or narrator did a very good job of guiding me through the play. For my assignment, I read along. The "Pass Master" explains thing well. She translates unfamiliar terms, talks about theme and summarizes passages well.
The play it's (with commentary) is very long (nearly 5 hours) but I felt I got so much more out of this audio version than I would have if I just read it or even watched it.
There was another audio book that was a performance and commentary but because the audio clip did not give an example of how the performance and commentary would be mixed, I went with this audio because the sample demonstrated how the two were intermixed. I like the way the "pass master" interjects. Her voice is delightful to listen to.
I wish they had "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Much Ado About Nothing" Henry the forth", Henry the 5th and hamlet in this series. That would make my last quarter at school go so well.

Great for class!
I used this with my class of 9th grade students. It is really very good. The play is read by different voices and there is a moderator who stops things when it gets confusing and explains what is going on. She gives a lot of history as well, which I thought was helpful.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
The explanations were great for my students to hear as they follow along in their text books. There were better explanations for context than our textbooks have.

Narrator cloying, uses modern British slang
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I found the Narrator on this title to be annoying: overly enthusiastic over every detail. This became cloying after 10 minutes or so.
It was also not helpful for me to have Elizabethan English explained using modern British slang. Who is the intended audience here? It looks like it's British teenagers.
What did you like best about this story?
The story is, of course, timeless.
What aspect of the narrators’s performance would you have changed?
A more universal English would have been more appropriate, since this title is sold on both sides of the "pond", to adults of all ages.
What character would you cut from SmartPass Plus Audio Education Study Guide to Romeo and Juliet (Unabridged, Dramatised, Commentary Options)?
Huh?
