Author
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is the world's greatest ever playwright. Born in 1564, he split his time between Stratford-upon-Avon and London, where he worked as a playwright, poet and actor. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway. Shakespeare died in 1616 at the age of fifty-two, leaving three children—Susanna, Hamnet and Judith. The rest is silence.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s a very skilled performance of the abridged text. Excellently done.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellently read by Richard Burton. Give that man an Oscar!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like Lolita or Paradise Lost, a story in which we see ourselves in the villain. "Why hunt I then for colour or excuses? / All orators are dumb when beauty pleadeth", says he, rightly. Reminds us of how terrible love and lust can be. And of course the prosody is exquisite.
