Produced by the Shakespeare Recording Society, these full-cast, unabridged performances of As You Like It (starring Vanessa Redgrave), Much Ado About Nothing (starring Rex Harrison), and The Winter's Tale (starring Sir John Gielgud and Dame Peggy Ashcroft) will move and delight Shakespeare aficionados everywhere.As You Like It is a quintessential Shakespearean comedy, complete with a clown, lovers, disguises, rifts, and reconciliations.In Much Ado About Nothing, would-be lovers Beatrice and Benedick circle each other warily with their scathing witticisms and sly innuendoes.The Winter's Tale is a moving romance whose themes are sin, forgiveness, death, rebirth, and the power of time and nature to heal all wounds.Shakespeare's world comes alive in these three theatrical performances with all the passion, wit, and profound human insight of their brilliant creator.

I admit, I've read and re-read Shakespeare, but never quite got the rhythm of the language - the meaning of the prose. I understood the basic plot, and with the help of teachers (whether in High School or college) I understood the basic meaning.BUT after I discovered what a performance of Shakespeare could do...I was hooked. I've every play that comes to town - and now I'm hooked on these audiobooks.Listening to Shakespeare (and you can listen anywhere - I recently enjoyed As You Like It as I painted my kitchen) is a fantastic experience - perfect listening for fans of the Bard - or anyone, like me, who knew they should be enjoying Shakespeare and yet struggled with the writing.These Caedmon Audios - performed by The Shakespeare Recording Society - have all exceeded expectation. I highly recommend.Shakespeare was meant to be heard, afterall.
I was under the impression it was a two volume set with many of the Caedmon version of the plays, although the product offering did not specify which. When I got it, it had two volumes but they were the same and contained but three plays- As You. . .; Much Ado. . .; Winters.
