The original BBC recording is much better than this. Five star has gone down to three only. Why? Because those who know about these things have decided to gild the lilly. They added background muzak to an already perfect recording and so spoiled it. It really does not need music; the spoken words by Burton are sufficiently wonderful without the distraction of of the awful 'muzak'. The town is supposed to be quiet, dead quiet, when sleeping. Instead we have noise. Muzak noise. Buy the BBC original, its MUCH better.

Cymbeline

This is the first new, full-scale edition of Cymbeline in 37 years.

One of Shakespeare's final works, Cymbeline uses virtuoso theatrical and poetic means to dramatize a story of marriage imperiled by mistrust and painfully rebuilt in the context of international conflict.

Roger Warren's commentary emphasizes the play's theatrical impact and pays close attention to its complex, evocative language.
