“We’re passionate about bringing the classics to today’s listeners in fun, relevant and easy-to-listen-to audiobooks, ” says producer Alison Larkin. “As soon as I learned that Tina has turned ten of Shakespeare’s most famous plays into short stories I knew they would make for an entertaining and important audiobook. I asked Tina to narrate them herself. Fortunately she said YES!”
