This was short, fun, & very well read since many of the scenes were obviously recorded during the actual plays. It was interspersed with music clips that fit in well.

If you're not familiar with Shakespeare, you'll likely be a bit lost, but it might not be a bad introduction. There are a lot of memorable quotes & scenes, but no attempt has been made to explain anything about them or to put them in context. I think they switched plays a couple of times without warning, too. At the end, they did a weird little bit with a woman reading a man's role & vice versa. It was still good. The Bard is meant to be listened to, not just read in cold words. ( )
