Dramatized Audiobooks

I spoke the other day very briefly about dramatized audiobooks in "What's the Deal with Audiobooks?" and thought I would expand on this subject a little further.

Some regular book titles may be a bit hard going with the subject material. The bible is a prime example of a book that people don't tend to read before bed.

Titles from Shakespeare may also fall into that category, and many people study Shakespeare, meaning some heavy reading awaits them.

With dramatized versions of these original titles, it can help lighten the load of studying and help put the story across in a more understandable way.

I have listed some of my favourite dramatized audiobook titles below, so you too can get immersed into the world of dramatized audiobooks.

Macbeth - BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard. The poetic richness of the language in "the Scottish play" is enhanced through the medium of radio to bring new depths of anguish to the tortured reasonings of Macbeth and his wife.

Hamlet - Michael Sheen, Kenneth Cranham and Juliet Stevenson star in the best-known and most powerful tragedy of modern times.

Revitalised, original and comprehensive - this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.
