Customer Reviews
College Work
Really only got this as we were studying the play at college. It is quite an enjoyable play with some interesting and thought provoking themes. Rodolpho does not sound to convincing as the character portrayed in the novel, a bit husky if I may say.
An unabridged, acted out version - brilliant
This is a word-for-word, well acted audio book of the script. It is a live recording of a theatre production. All of the cast play their parts brilliantly and it really brings they play to life to hear it read by actors. I bought this as I teach English and my GCSE students loved it.
