Several months ago, David posted As You Like It from the Arkangel Shakespeare series.
I have the complete set, with liner notes, so i thought I'd post them all. I'll be adding the Sonnets later, probably posting them in Poetry, along with Venus and Adonis
Each of the plays is a separate archive and the bitrate varies among them, but all are quite clear.

I'm currently about half way through their (excellent) version of Titus Andronicus, in preparation for Saturday - which is our next visit to the RSC (Saturday night).
Apparently "Katy Stephens is a darkly voluptuous Tamora" !

Although (thanks to Bob) I already have these I can't praise the quality of the performances highly enough (at least not of the ones I've heard).
Incidentally on subject of Shakespeare, last Saturday we went to the RSC in Stratford Upon Avon to see their latest (modern dress) take on Hamlet. It was very very special. 3 hours and 35 minutes literally seemed to fly by!
A visit to Stratford to see the RSC was one of the pilgrimages I undertook while on extended assignment in the UK some years back.
Absolutely magical.
