The Tragedy of Macbeth (Version 2)

Macbeth is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is considered one of his darkest and most powerful tragedies. Set in Scotland, the play dramatizes the corroding psychological and political effects produced when its protagonist, the Scottish lord Macbeth, chooses evil as the way to fulfill his ambition for power. He commits regicide to become king and then furthers his moral descent with a reign of murderous terror to stay in power, eventually plunging the country into civil war. In the end, he loses everything that gives meaning and purpose to his life before losing his life itself. (Summary by Wikipedia)

I truly enjoyed it

The only criticism I can give is that the accents can be difficult to understand, but that would be the case in any good reading of this play. Of course filled with the typical dark plot and exuberant wit common to Shakespeare.

Every Yale edition of Shakespeare is the tops

hese are old editions which have not been bettered. For the very modest cost, they must be the best bargains in literature. All of my copies are in good condition and unmarked. Covers are faded but title lettering still visible. https://typeaudiobooks.com/stephenie-meyer-the-chemist-audiobook/

great work, thanks to those involved

good acting and audio quality for the most part. scottish accents were difficult to understand at first and roles and voices gender mismatch might surprise you if you don't pay attention.

Well voiced by librivox standards
