The voices of many of the most distinguished actors presently performing in the British theater are captured in the Arkangel Shakespeare, one of the most ambitious undertakings in recent recording history. These fully dramatized, unabridged, and entirely new productions encompass all thirty-eight of Shakespeare's plays. Each accompanied by original music and uses the uncut text of the Pelican Shakespeare series. This season Penguin Audiobooks is pleased to present the first seven plays in this fitting tribute to the Bard of Avon at the end of a millennium that has yet to surpass his creative genius.

"If music be the food of love, play on...". So begins this romantic comedy of mistaken identities and crossed signals. Duke Orsino loves Olivia. But Viola, dressed as the Duke's male servant Cesario, loves Orsino. And hapless Malvolio, tricked by Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Aguecheek, loves his mistress Olivia. Confusion reigns, and the stage is set for hilarity. The cast includes Niamh Cusack (Viola), Jonathan Firth (Orsino), Amanda Root (Olivia) and Julian Glover (Malvolio).
