読み聞かせでもなく、サウンドドラマでもない。オーディオブックならではの圧倒的な表現力。誰もが知っている"はず"のシェイクスピア作品をダイジェストにして続々お届けします。 『あえて申し上げれば、大公様、毒舌屋が大挙して押しかけてもこの熱は冷えませんよ。ちょっと冷やかされたくらいでどうだと言うんです。 つまり結婚すると決めたからには、世界中が反対しても、こっちの決心はびくともせんのです。』 当時の演劇界では、舞台上での「舌戦」が大人気で、この『から騒ぎ』も大入り満員だった模様。そしてこの「舌戦」は陰湿なものというより、騙し欺されの知的スポーツとして受け入れられている。言い合いは「本心」ではない、という前提がこの作品が恋物語として成立する背景である。また同時に聞き耳（立ち聞き・盗み聞き）も人気劇の要素として、舞台上の演出として、非常に効果的である。当の本人たちはわからないが、観客からは企みの全てが見えている点の喜劇的効果は、現代の演劇の基礎ともなっている。 片や信じた真が嘘となったり、嘘から出た真で幸せになったりもする。 魅力的でデフォルメされたキャラクター達が織り成すドタバタ劇の大幹には、こういったNotingとNothingの間を行き来する人間の心理模様を浮き上がらせるという狙いがある。

In this Audible Exclusive performance by Matt Lucas of Great Expectations, Charles Dickens demonstrates that conscience, loyalty and empathy are virtues far more valuable than intellect, wealth and social standing. First published in Dickens’ own periodical, All the Year Round, the novel was divided into nine monthly instalments, from December 1860 to August 1861. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success and managed to sell over 100,000 copies per week. Though written at a challenging time in Dickens’ life, when the impending breakdown of his marriage loomed over him, Great Expectations proves to be one of his most optimistic, comical and romantic novels.
