Summary

Shakespeare Simply Retold: Romeo and Juliet brings one of the world's most iconic love stories to listeners in a clear, engaging, and accessible way. Perfect for high school students and adult listeners who find Shakespeare's original language challenging, this audiobook bridges the gap between classic literature and modern understanding.

Edited and narrated by Gary MacFadden, and directed and produced by Sarah Bacaller, this retelling draws on the rich storytelling traditions of Edith Nesbit and Charles and Mary Lamb. Their adaptations have been thoughtfully woven together to create a narrative that remains faithful to the heart of Shakespeare's tragedy.
