Shakespeare - Living Shakespeare Box Set 2

Review by Ken O'Keefe

The Living Shakespeare Box Set 2 is a must-have for any fan of Shakespeare's work. This album contains some of the most iconic and well-known plays of the great playwright, including Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. The performances are top-notch, with some of the best actors of their time lending their talents to bring the characters to life.

The box set includes a total of 10 CDs, each containing a different play. The sound quality is excellent, and the recordings are clear and crisp. The set also comes with a booklet that provides background information on each play, as well as notes on the performances and the actors involved.

One of the standout performances in the box set is that of Laurence Olivier in Hamlet. His portrayal of the tormented prince is both powerful and nuanced, and his delivery of the famous soliloquies is nothing short of mesmerizing. The other actors in the cast, including Jean Simmons as Ophelia and Eileen Herlie as Gertrude, also give strong performances that add depth and complexity to the play.
