The Sonnets
Everyone knows something of Shakespeare's Sonnets, even if only in memorable fragments like "the darling buds of May," or "remembrance of things past," or "the marriage of true minds;" and for many people these wonderfully crafted, intense lyrics stand for something valued about youth, love and the emotional complexities belonging to that time of life. All 154 of Shakespeare's Sonnets, using the New Cambridge Shakespeare text, are presented in this special recording. Alex Jennings trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre Company and has played numerous leading roles for Royal Shakespeare Company productions including Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, Measure for Measure, Richard III, Peer Gynt, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Much Ado About Nothing.
