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

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

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a tragic world in which two young people fall in love. It is not simply that their families disapprove; the Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood feud. This play, set in an extraordinary world, has become the quintessential story of young love. 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.

This timeless story of teen romance and warring families was wonderfully dramatized. Universally considered one of the greatest stories but the actors brought this story of death to life with the prosody, rate, tones, inflections, pauses and the sound effects. The sound characteristics helped to translate the middle English spoken in Shakespearean times understandable in modern times. To help augment my understanding, I did occasionally go to Sparknotes to understand some meanings or references.

Audible chapters = scenes, so the chapters were easy to navigate. The performance is fun, and the sound effects were helpful cues for action or scenery

Great performance, easy to navigate

Quite the lovely story, the template for romance. Such a mark on history that to be someones's "Romeo" or "Juliet" is to be their true love, to death.

nothing less to be expected from Shakespeare

What a wonderful read/listen. My 9th grade son has to read and this rendition brught this to life.

Phenomenal

What I enjoyed about this particular rendition of Shakespeare is the Americanized voices. While listening to Shakespeare with English, voices by American ears have to catch up to meaning intense. By hearing it with American voices, my American ear were able to very quickly go from translating vowel sounds to listening to the rich text and meaning that Shakespeare laid down for us.Great read.

Everything in there is full of hatred towards the enemies until two from each sides fall and love then die together at the end. I always love the story if this one!!!

Beautiful love story
