An essential collection of four of Shakespeare's best-known tragedies - the acclaimed BBC Radio 3 productions. Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, The Tempest and King Lear.
In Venice, Frances Croy is working to leave the previous year behind: another novel published to little success, a scathing review she can't quite manage to forget, and, most of all, the real reason behind her self-imposed exile from London: the incident at the Savoy. Sequestered within an aging palazzo, Frankie finds comfort in the emptiness of Venice in winter, in the absence of others. And then Gilly appears.
