William Collins Books and Decca Records are proud to present ARGO Classics, a historic catalogue of classic prose and verse read by some of the world's most renowned voices. Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly remastered stories are now available to download for the first time.
All 6 of Shakespeare's `Problem Plays' are collected here, performed by the celebrated Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players.
Mystery, power, and malevolence are present in these plays, all of which subvert the happy endings that one would expect in a comedy, and the tragic effect one would expect in a tragedy, to pose deeper, moral questions that echo modern society. Performed by an incredible array of the 20th century's greatest actors, Marlowe alumni including Roy Dotrice, Prunella Scales, Ian McKellen, Michael Hordern, and Derek Jacobi can be heard in these recordings.
All of the Shakespeare plays within the ARGO Classics catalogue are performed by the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players. The Marlowe was founded in 1907 with a mission to focus on effective delivery of verse, respect the integrity of texts, and rescue neglected plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries and the less performed plays of Shakespeare himself. The Marlowe has performed annually at Cambridge Arts Theatre since its opening in 1936 and continues to produce some of the finest actors of their generations.
Thurston Dart, Professor of Music at London University and a Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge, directed the music for this production.
This collection includes all 6 plays considered as Shakespeare's Problem Plays:
¿ All's Well That Ends Well
¿ Measure For Measure
¿ The Merchant of Venice
¿ Timon of Athens
¿ Troilus and Cressida
¿ The Winter's Tale
The full casts for each production in this collection can be found in the description of the individual play's product page.
This compilation represents the best of European theatre, with top performing actors delivering Shakespeare's Problem Plays with unparalleled skill and passion. The performances are a testament to the enduring power and relevance of Shakespeare's work.
For fans of Richard Parsons (GCSE English Shakespeare Text Guide), Arthur Miller (Incident at Vichy), Ben Crystal (Shakespeare's Words), and Barbara Houseman (Finding Your Voice).
