DESCRIPTION:
The excellent cast is made up of established members of England's professional theater community, and their performances meet the expectations one would have for such a well-trained and respected group. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --George Laney. Because this production of Romeo and Juliet features a full-cast performance, original music, and sound effects, it could accurately be described as an audio play. At times the actors' overlapping voices are difficult to distinguish, especially for those unfamiliar with Elizabethan vernacular. The music is generally quite good and adds a beneficial element that too few audiocassettes bother to include, but is at times perfunctory and a little too loud. This tragic tale of the world's most famous star-crossed couple was originally written to be seen, but the genius of Shakespeare's language is stunningly beautiful to the naked ear as well. If there is a disappointment to this production, it is, iron

It's Romeo, I get it, but I have to say it detracts from the overall quality.. "Great Audio" according to Megan R. I am a ninth grade English teacher and all of my classes listened to this while we read along with Romeo and Juliet. It was very accurate and entertaining.

It was definitely worth the money and I will be using this every time I teach R&J!
