This set of radio shows, first produced and broadcast on the BBC world service, give you a little bit of what the reduced Shakespeare Company have to offer without you actually having to go to the theatre (though i, personally, would always favour this option). Having seen them perform at the theatre on many occasions now, i just couldn't resist buying the radio show - i could now listen to them whenever i wanted! The tapes are extremely good value, as you get 3 hours of topclass entertainment, that you can listen to whenever you like. The content is inspired, and sometimes just taken straight from the script of their hit show The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), but is also augmented by a variety of different sketches and randomness.I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you've ever seen any of the company's other wor and enjoyed it. Truly a work of genius!
