Hamlet, Prince of Denmark CD set (New Cambridge Shakespeare Audio)

Summary: Hamlet, Prince of Denmark CD set
Review: It's hard to believe the producers of this version could have allowed it to continue much beyond Anton Lesser's first appearance on the parapets. While the rest of the cast comes up with credible performances, his Hamlet is perhaps the worst I have ever heard. He has but two means of projecting his character: either by emoting faster than a speeding bullet or whispering his lines as indistinctly as possible. I alone am at fault for buying this CD set but in the future I'll be very careful whenever I see his name as part of the cast and will make sure I have permission to return it before purchasing. Dreadful!
