Publisher's Summary

BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.

In Much Ado, the clarity of radio allows the wonderful verbal sparring between Beatrice and Benedick to sparkle as high comedy and melodrama mix magically in a combination of prose and verse.

Revitalised, original, and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.

    "Abridged and altered"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    No


    Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrators?

    I would love to, but the play gets modified by the performers.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes


    Any additional comments?

    The performance cuts out significant portions of the play. There are also several places where an actor changes a line or word order. It really takes away from the play. Also, Don John speaks too, too softly to even be heard. What's the point?

    "Much Ado About Nothing - Audio Book - BBC"

    A classic by a classic organization. The production made the text come alive. I will glad to purchase the rest of the Bard's collection in audio book.
