Reviews & endorsements
'These tapes are invaluable not just because of the quality of the diction and presentation but because they are based on the complete text as established by Philip Edwards for the New Cambridge Shakespeare edition of the plays. They may be used in conjunction with the plays or simply listened to for the sheer joy of hearing Shakespeare's wonderful language without having to endure the absurdities of so many modern productions.' Contemporary Review
'Well worth acquiring for any good audio collection.' AVL-Multimedia Information
'The CD jacket boasts of a performance of 'the complete text: fully dramatised' - a Shakespearean purist's dream … a comprehensive and faithful treatment of the play'. Cahiers Elisabéthains
