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 play's the thing here - no tricks or special effects, just lots of lovely Shakespeare, acted with punch and panache an impressive treat - and, at not much more than a tenner for a full text on four CDs, an affordable one.'

Oscar said Just the Original Text. This book is just what I was looking for! The book provides just the text of the script (no author's notes). The texts are not revised or translated into modern English. Its price is a bit too much for what I believe it's worth, but its contents are worth it. The cover has a different texture from what I believed a paperback would have, which can explain its cost, but I'm good with it.. Hamlet Calla Edition The type is fine, however, I much prefer a crisp white paper. More important, the binding is not as good as it should be. The illustrations are lovely. This was a gift and very well received.. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. This is a wonderful book to hold in your hands. Beautifully done.
