Shakespeare's pastoral comedy was written and first performed around 1599, and presents some of his familiar motifs: a cross-dressing heroine, a wise-cracking fool, brothers usurping their brothers' power, a journey from the court to the country, and various romantic entanglements.

Reviews


(4 stars)

Very good audiobook. As always not everybody pulled their own weight, but the main cast has done a wonderful performance. Some of it is not as good audio quality though, as the rest.


(2.5 stars)

I’m not gonna rate it over 3 stars because the audio wasn’t always good some of time. Some of the people were really quiet or muffled.
