Fun and Whitty

Great audio version, Shakespeare was mean to be performed and reading along while you listen along will make it 4 times as rich!

Not for a teaching tool

What would have made Much Ado About Nothing better?

This audio does not follow the original text of the play. I ended up not being able to use the audio because it skips lines, paragraphs, and entire sections of scenes. If you are looking for using the audio as a teaching tool, do not use this one.

The readers were decent, but I think a few of them could have used more inflection, differentiation of pitch (and volume) to make it easier to differentiate between characters.
