Hamlet written by William Shakespeare performed by Paul Scofield, Diana Wynyard, Wilfred Lawson and Michael Hordern on Cassette (Unabridged)

The tragedy of "Hamlet", probably the most famous in literature, has become a basic part of the culture of the western world. The problems it raises, of the ability of a man of good will to act effectively upon a corrupt world, have been stated nowhere so movingly. The first English-speaking theatre company to play Moscow since 1917 starred Paul Scofield in the title role in "Hamlet", and this same production was widely hailed during the 1955-56 London season. One of the greatest Shakespearean actors recreates one of the greatest Shakespearean roles for this memorable recording.
