Hamlet (with audio)

Enhanced ebook edition of Hamlet featuring a full cast audio performance of the play, starring Josh Stamberg as Hamlet.

Shakespeare’s timeless story of revenge, corruption, and murder is considered one of the greatest works in the English language. Prince Hamlet sets out to avenge his beloved father's death at the hand of his uncle Claudius — but Hamlet's spiral into grief and madness will have permanent and immutable consequences for the Kingdom of Denmark. Composed over 400 years ago, Hamlet remains one of the theater’s most studied and performed works, and is presented here in a stunning, sound-rich full-cast recording alongside the text.

By merging text and audio, this ebook is a perfect learning tool for enhancing comprehension and enjoyment, and is highly recommended as a study aid for students, teachers, actors and directors. Widely read in high school and college, Hamlet is a text exemplar of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
