All ends happily, thanks to his incompetent assassins and the lucky discoveries of the bungling constable Dogberry. Central to the play, one of Shakespeare's best-loved comedies, are Beatrice and Benedick, masters of wit and sworn foes to marriage - until a plot is hatched to bring them together.

Beatrice is played by Saskia Reeves, while Samuel West plays Benedick. Paul Jesson is Don Pedro, Jason O'Mara is Claudio, and Abigail Docherty is Hero. Dogberry is played by Bryan Pringle.

Great historical, social, literary analysis and performance notes (glosses, scansion, etc)

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

Arden Shakespeare, including the current Third Series, proves absolutely indispensable for script analysis preparing for audition (made it!!) and lighting design (yeah, insanity doing both) for this classic; director is wants us understanding historical, social, literary contexts and themes, and how they apply in modern day society, keeping the story especially relevant to how women are treated in modern society. The Arden Shakespeare is a standard resource for most of the cast, and for my work both in cast and in lighting design.

Wonderful play, this review is about this ebook edition. I did a read through with others using different editions and we found numerous cases of mis-attributed lines in this version.

It's All In The Title

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2009

The title says it all, eh? Shakespeare in the original Klingon. However, to those who go there, it's really neat. I would have given it 5 stars, but there were not as many notes as there should have been. And more background on the Klingon origins of the piece would have helped. Other than that, majQa!

Klingon perspective on the Bard

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2002

Verified Purchase

Yet another excellent, ambitious work adapted from Shakespeare by the Shakespeare Restoration Project of the Klingon Language Institute. These guys have already done Hamlet and Gilgamesh, and they're working on the Bible and Macbeth.
Highly recommended for serious students of both Klingon language and William Shakespeare.

I'm a big-time Trekkie and I love to read anything and everything I can about Star Trek. It's hard to find a lot of reading material of the local bookstores and the prices are very high. this is a great book a must-have for a Trekkie and you save on the price

"Academic Edition"?

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

Now, it is the Kindle edition, so it's a bit inconvenient to navigate, but it seems to have no footnotes or meaningful extra material (I'm an English teacher, so that matters to me). Don't bother, unless you really only need the text itself.

Was written in complete gibberish. Almost none of the "words" in this book were words at all, they were an odd assortment of letters with numbers/symbols thrown into the mix.

the book is good but unfortunately one chapter was repeated several times - at least 5 times which when using for answering exam questions was rather annoying

Never again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2015

To say that this collection of paper is a book is an insult to books. I was extremely disappointed in this purchase. The text was difficult to read and at various points throughout the play, there would suddenly be capital letter text telling readers this was an electronic copy of the text and subject to copyright.

Returned it immediately and was refunded.

What you see is not what you get. Little ado about a lot

Reviewed in India on September 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought the book after using the "Look inside" feature to check the contents. What I received is not at all what is displayed. If the edition has changed, you must not fool customers by displaying content of old editions.
