Macbeth, 3 Audio-CDs (Audio book) - DDD

Using the complete, unabridged New Cambridge Shakespeare edition, this is an audio version (cassettes and compact disks) of Shakespeare's Macbeth, using a full professional cast, sound effects and accompanying music. The recording is directed by Fiona Shaw, who also plays Lady Macbeth opposite Stephen Dillane's Macbeth. Other members of the cast include Stella Gonet as Lady Macduff and Bill Paterson as the Porter. Shakespeare wrote Macbeth in 1605/1606, after he had completed Hamlet (1601), Othello (1603) and King Lear (1605). The set of three cassettes or CDs is accompanied by notes, a list of sources, and a play synopsis.

About the author

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) gilt als einer der größten Dichter und Dramatiker der Weltgeschichte. Er verfasste zahlreiche Dramen, Tragödien, Komödien und Gedichte, mit denen er schon zu Lebzeiten Anerkennung und Wohlstand errang. Aber erst in den folgenden Jahrhunderten wurde er zum Prototypen des literarischen Genies, ohne den die Entwicklung der neueren Literatur von Goethe über Brecht bis in die Gegenwart hinein undenkbar ist.
