A Great Listen
I love this. I had the pleasure of being taught by Ben Crystal's Dad at university so perhaps I have a bit more insight into OP than some but this should not exclude anybody! The extracts are well selected and beautifully read. A must-listen for anyone studying Shakespeare, the linguistics of OP or who just likes a bit of the Bard at Bedtime!

Some of the finest readings on Audible.
The actors do a wonderful job of bringing these works to life. I finished this with a huge appetite for more. The scene of Hamlet confronting Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was wonderful.
