A Genius Performance by Judi Dench and Timothy West!

Welcome to the wonderful world of William Shakespeare. This is a collection of extracts from many of The bard's plays; from Hamlet to Cymbeline, and Romeo and Juliet to Pericles.

This selection includes many of Shakespeare's most famous and familiar speeches, together with other lesser-known revelations and some music, songs and sonnets too.

The source extracts are linked by an informative and well-researched commentary written and read by actors and creators of this project, Richard Hampton and David Weston.

They provide an ideal, beautifully performed introduction to Shakespeare's plays, and a glimpse of the man himself with many fascinating facts and little-known information.
