Shakespeare Monologues Collection vol. 02

This is raw, timeless power. Fifteen of the most electrifying speeches from Shakespeare's canon, performed by the human voice. These are the moments when characters step forward to reveal their deepest truths: Hamlet's agonizing contemplation of existence, Richard's scheming ambition, Juliet's passionate declaration of love, the Fool's bitter wisdom. Each monologue is a complete emotional world unto itself. Here, tragedy sits beside comedy. Grief collides with joy. You'll find the speech that ends with "the rest is silence" and the one that begins "to be or not to be." Some of these monologues have entered the bloodstream of the English language; others are buried treasures waiting to be discovered. Every one of them burns with the fire of language meant to be spoken aloud, to be heard, to be felt in the chest. This is Shakespeare distilled to his most potent form: one voice, one moment, one truth.
