Wonderful reordering, historically significant.

Even though this audio book only includes selected speeches from Romeo and Juliet Hamlet they're still all excellent choices and the audiobook is well worth the price of the audiobook to listen to these masters voice the words of the board.

No commentary, just scene dialogue

Excellent acting unquestionably. Would have been been with some Gielgud, or at least a scholar, pre and post commentary on each scene.
