Great format and performance

I found the format really helpful because there is a version of the play with full explanation throughout, including historical context and meanings of things said. After that there is a version of the play without the commentary, which then I could easily and well understand, after having listened to the first version

Makes Shakespeare understandable

This makes Shakespeare so much more accessible, Much better than when I was at school, I am now able to appreciate why he is considered the best writer ever. Love the background history too.
