In this charming and sparkling comedy, the young King of Navarre and three courtiers vow to forswear women for three years while they study and fast. But of course the moment they take this oath, the Princess of France and three of her ladies arrive. Temptations! And what temptations! "A wonderful audio performance with delightful musical interludes. The characterizations are apt and distinct." —Kliatt

About the Creative Director Clive Brill graduated from Oxford University and then joined the BBC where he worked for 12 years as director, producer, and commissioning editor. In 1996, he left the BBC to develop and direct the Arkangel Shakespeare project. He directed all 38 plays, which star many of today's finest actors. He is a co-director of Pacificus Productions in London, which produces drama across all media.

The Arkangel Complete Shakespeare is one of the most ambitious undertakings in recent recording history. All thirty-eight of Shakespeare's plays, uncut, fully-dramatized and accompanied by original music, are brought to life by the voices of many of the most distinguished actors presently performing in British Film and Theatre.
