Great format and performances

I like the format as it has the play in two versions, the first including full explanation and historical context, and the second being without explanation. The performances were all great.

Great peace well acted

This is a fabulous book very well rendered. There is two versions one with the straight text the other with added historical information. This added a good bit to the overall enjoyment but you don't have to listen if you don't want to. I for one really enjoyed the extra's. recommended I really enjoyed being transported back to Shakespeare's time.

Shakespeare appreciated

A really good detailed scene by scene commentary which makes the play easy to follow and explains the language, plot and characters. Invaluable for study or anyone with keen interest in Shakespeare.
