"As Shakespeare is best when heard, [you] will be happy to find his work put out by Naxos Audiobooks... Naxos, which has an extensive music catalog, provides enchanting music for each production...appealing cover art and extensive liner notes." --Boston Sunday Globe

Published in conjunction with Cambridge University Press, and enhanced with music by Oscar-winner Stephen Warbeck, Naxos Audiobooks' unabridged dramatizations of the plays of William Shakespeare use the complete texts of the New Cambridge Shakespeare recognized by the Royal Shakespeare Company and educational institutions around the world.

Hamlet is the first Shakespeare play in the series undertaken by Naxos Audiobooks in conjunction with Cambridge University Press.

Hamlet, which dates from 1600-1601, is the first in Shakespeare's great series of tragedies about a tormented Prince who seeks revenge for his father's death, facing tragic consequences along the way.
