User reviews

Terrific job, more plays please!!!

I’m revisiting the play and looking at this wonderful app again. I only wish they had continued with the series!

incredible resource

truly outstanding, a scholar’s delight

Awesome Performance and Immersion of Shakespeare!

Please do another play like this and create another app! Please !

The digital equivalent of Oxford's new critical edition

The only thing that this app might improve is the download experience. It is a little buggy and I wish there is an option for audio only, not that I don't enjoy seeing Derek Jacobi and Ian Mckellen reading out loud though. I mean seriously. How is this app not topping the charts. Please publish the rest of the plays ASAP.

One of my all time favorites

I admit that The Tempest was one of Shakespeare’s works with which I was least familiar but I had such a delightful time rediscovering and becoming MUCH better acquainted with this wonderful play. Now for God’s sake please give us the next app!
