From Shakespeare--with love

October 1, 2009
Sixteen classically trained British actors tackle the touchstone of English literature in this enjoyable audio commemorating the 400th anniversary of the publication of "Shakespeare's Sonnets". An accompanying booklet provides context and structure for the selection of the sonnets and the order in which they're read, as well as the reasoning behind the pairing of certain actors with certain sonnets. All readings are under two minutes long, giving listeners the opportunity to dip into the poems a few at a time or swim the distance. For students of all ages.J. Sara Paulk, Fitzgerald-Ben Hill Cty.
