description: Read by some of the leading Shakespearean actors of our day, including Sir John Gielgud and Glenda Jackson, this collection covers perhaps the greatest words ever written for the stage. Many of the most famous soliloquies and orations are here: Hamlet's "To be or not to be", Mark Antony's "Friends, Romans, countrymen", and Henry V's "Once more unto the breach". Interspersed with music from the plays, these extracts are a clear reminder of the transcendent and undiminished value of these great moments in the history of drama.
