Hamlet: Fully Dramatized Audio Edition

De: William Shakespeare

Narrado por: full cast

Folger Shakespeare Library, The World’s Leading Center for Shakespeare Studies

The Folger Shakespeare Library, home to the world’s largest Shakespeare collection, brings Hamlet to life with this new full-length, full-cast dramatic recording of its definitive Folger Edition.

Hamlet, Shakespeare's most popular, and perhaps most puzzling play, follows the form of a "revenge tragedy", in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father’s murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties.

This new full-cast recording - based on the most respected edition of Shakespeare's classic - expertly produced by the Folger Theatre, is perfect for students, teachers, and the everyday listener.

Fantastic.

I wonderful performance, perfection done with an American accent, for a nice change. Hamlet was done with a fantastic elan.

Best Listen

Like a movie in audiobook form! Absolutely love the performance of the actors in this audiobook. One to listen to again and again.

Quite the tale, so well performed.

I pitty those who choose just to read it, but not experience it. Woe to them.

a little to modern profrance

omg dude like o m g tottally blew my mind the way that guy pretended to be cray 10 out of 10 would shakespear again

It's worth listening to.

I was reading Hamlet for a class and I didn't have the time to see a performance. This audio version is an excellent supplement to reading the play and experiencing a performance of it (without, obviously, the visual component). I recommend this audio book.

Engaging Actors

The full commitment of each and every actor in this audio book turned boring old Hamlet into a dramatic thriller.

So good

By far my favorite Shakespeare work in autiobook format the actors wear a little of frome time to but overall amazing

What a wonderful way to review Hamlet.

Would have been hard to follow if unfamiliar but great as a review if you have seen the play.

Loved the voice actors

I liked the voice actors and that there was a woman for the woman speakers. Having background noises of their actions was also great! I think the voice actors did great, and I'd recommend this to anyone like me who struggles with understanding their tones while reading. (I read my book along while the audible played)

Brings a new dynamic to printed version

I purchased this audio book to help understand the delivery of this script and I wasn’t disappointed. The ability to follow along and listen this play helps tie together the emotions to the syntax of the text leaving you wanting more.
