Story4.5 out of 5 stars 45
Hamlet, Shakespeare's most popular, and perhaps most puzzling play, follows the form of a "revenge tragedy", in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father’s murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties. This new full-cast recording - based on the most respected edition of Shakespeare's classic - expertly produced by the Folger Theatre, is perfect for students, teachers, and the everyday listener.

Good cast
The cast was great. But some of the back audio was annoying at times and sometimes too loud. But overall it was a good version. I'm happy with my purchase.

Loved every minute of it. I struggle to paint the picture of what I am reading but this audible reading, as I followed the hard copy book, was so easy to picture every seen. 100% recommended!!

Great voice actors
True be told, I only bought this book for my English class... but the voice actors were fantastic. They were easy to listen to and understand, even with the Shakespearian language.

Othello- iago my dude, what's your beef with Othello.
Overall I liked the story, my only criticism about it is with iago, kind of felt there was a lack of motives for the real hatred for Othello, no explanation whatsoever, Iago's character could have been deciphered more into it's character I like that he's a villain, cunning and deceptive but where does all this hatred derives from? Othello over blinded by jealousy , commits atrocious acts but I wish things could have been explained.

Shakespeare, The master of Tragedy
This story like Romeo and Juliet, is such a roller-coaster of happiness and tragedy, human flaws and human pain. Even just half listening to the story is emotionally moving, and it almost brought me tears.
I usually don't listen to stories like this, but when I do I cry manly tears.

Marred by technical glitches
The first chapter alone contains a few instances of clipped content. It's a shame given the wonderful performances.
