Works very well in audio format

Macbeth the play is of course brilliant - what impressed me about this production was how it kept my attention and made the text come alive. I was also surprised how despite the 400 years plus since it was written, the text is still largely comprehensible. Wonderful!

A Classic Worth Revisiting Again and Again

An excellent opportunity to “hear”
the Folger’s edition.

Appreciating the Classics and thankful for the template that we can use to choose a different outcome than a tragedy. !
