Favorite Shakespeare Excerpts

A selection of Shakespeare’s monologues, dialogues, and other excerpts, chosen by volunteers. The pieces offer a way to sample the range of his dramatic writing without following a single play from beginning to end.

As an anthology, the collection brings together passages from different works rather than telling one continuous story. It may suit listeners who want to revisit familiar speeches or hear a varied introduction to Shakespeare’s language and drama.
