Description

William Collins Books and Decca Records are proud to present ARGO Classics, a historic catalogue of classic prose and verse read by some of the worldâ€™s most renowned voices. Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly remastered stories are now available to download for the first time. All 10 of Shakespeareâ€™s timeless tragedies, performed by the celebrated Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players. Power, excess, and betrayal are played out in these tragedies that continue to hold modern resonance.

Performed by an incredible array of the 20th centuryâ€™s greatest actors, Marlowe alumni including Ian McKellen, Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, and Prunella Scales can be heard in these recordings. All of the Shakespeare plays within the ARGO Classics catalogue are performed by the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players.

The Marlowe was founded in 1907 with a mission to focus on effective delivery of verse, respect the integrity of texts, and rescue neglected plays by Shakespeareâ€™s contemporaries and the less performed plays of Shakespeare himself.

The Marlowe has performed annually at Cambridge Arts Theatre since its opening in 1936 and continues to produce some of the finest actors of their generations. Thurston Dart, Professor of Music at London University and a Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge, directed the music for this production. This collection includes 10 tragedies:â€¢ Antony and Cleopatraâ€¢ Coriolanusâ€¢ Hamletâ€¢ Julius Caesarâ€¢ King Learâ€¢ Macbethâ€¢ Othelloâ€¢ Romeo and Julietâ€¢ Timon of Athensâ€¢ Titus Andronicus The full casts for each production in this collection can be found in the description of the individual playâ€™s product page.
