...but the performance itself is somewhat disappointing. It's not terrible and I do recommend this as way to learn more about the play and its context. However, there are far better versions if you just want to enjoy a performance of Shakespeare's sublime play.

I find this format great because of the explanations of the scenes, language used and historical context. It is then followed by a version without the explanations.

Great format and enjoyable story
