This book arrived on our doorstep this week. It is gorgeous, beautifully bound, all the good stuff. Then, another big box arrived a few days later. I'm just going to plagiarize Amazon for a minute.
For the first time in audio publishing history, all of Shakespeare's plays are available in one extraordinary, definitive collection. Based on The Complete Pelican Shakespeare, here are all of the master's 38 plays, complete and unabridged, fully dramatized on CDs with an original score and sound design for each play. A monumental project that spanned five years and cost $3 million, The Complete Arkangel Shakespeare represents the collective vision of four people: Shakespeare scholar Tom Treadwell, film producer Bill Shepherd, BBC director Clive Brill, and composer Dominique Le Gendre. Together they have assembled the 400 great actors of the British theater and produced a landmark digital recording with a sophisticated layering of sound that immerses the listener in Shakespeare's world.
The english major in me is hyperventilating. Imagine how much of this the kids could absorb. I'm looking forward to a road trip.
Thanks Joe and Ren.
