This review refer to "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare -Naxos Audio Book(CD) Full Cast With Complete Text From New Cambridge Shakespeare

Who better to tell you a story than The Bard himself? And in this one he takes you away to a fairytale land of magic potions, fairy dust and "rare visions". Add some lords and ladies, some romance and delicious comedy and you'll be smiling all the way through.

All the elements for an enjoyable romp are here. Impish fairies spreading their magic turn the lives of four young lovers upside down with their mystical spells. A bumbling acting troupe finds one of it's members turned into a donkey, yet the object of the fairy queen's affections. All taking place in a beautiful moonlit forest. Will these sprites make everything right for these mere mortals? You'll have a merry time finding out!

Warren Mitchell as Bottom, Michael Maloney as Oberon, and Sarah Woodward as Titania lead a terrific full cast performance that will take you on this enchanted journey.The music will have you caught up in the time era as well.

There is another edition available(the one I have - same cast,production co, etc)so check for best deals and availability - A Midsummer Night's Dream (Naxos AudioBooks) and see my review there for CD quality and details.

Recommended for a delightful way to spend a couple of hours around the house or in the car. Would also make a nice gift for the audio enthusiast
Thanx and...enjoy the read....Laurie
