What to expect

Legendary actress and Shakespearean expert, Tina Packer takes all the fear out of understanding Shakespeare by adapting ten of The Bard's most famous plays into easily understood short stories, retold in modern language. Her introduction provides the listener with easy-to-digest information about Elizabethan England and Shakespeare's life and work. "Packer captures the essence of the playwright's words and ideas, placing them in concise and clearly told stories...A treasure trove of well-told tales." -School Library Journal A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear, As You Like It, Macbeth, The Tempest, Othello, Twelfth Night, and Romeo and Juliet. "We're passionate about bringing the classics to today's listeners in fun, relevant and easy-to-listen-to audiobooks," says producer Alison Larkin. "As soon as I learned that Tina has turned ten of Shakespeare's most famous plays into short stories I knew they would make for an entertaining and important audiobook. I asked Tina to narrate them herself. Fortunately she said YES!"
