description: Produced by the Shakespeare Recording Society, these full-cast, unabridged performances of As You Like It (starring Vanessa Redgrave), Much Ado About Nothing (starring Rex Harrison), and The Winter's Tale (starring Sir John Gielgud and Dame Peggy Ashcroft) will move and delight Shakespeare aficionados everywhere.As You Like It is a quintessential Shakespearean comedy, complete with a clown, lovers, disguises, rifts, and reconciliations.In Much Ado About Nothing, would-be lovers Beatrice and Benedick circle each other warily with their scathing witticisms and sly innuendoes.The Winter's Tale is a moving romance whose themes are sin, forgiveness, death, rebirth, and the power of time and nature to heal all wounds.Shakespeare's world comes alive in these three theatrical performances with all the passion, wit, and profound human insight of their brilliant creator.
