King Lear -- Unhappy That I Am (Act I, Scene I) by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare Monologues Collection 008 by William Shakespeare LibriVox readers present the eighth collection of monologues from Shakespeare's plays. Containing 20 parts. William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564 -- April 23, 1616) remains widely to be considered the single greatest playwright of all time. He wrote in such a variety of genres -- tragedy, comedy, romance, &c -- that there is always at least one monologue in each of his plays. Some of these teach a lesson, some simply characterize Shakespeare at his best, some are funny, some sad, but all are very moving. Each monologue will touch everybody differently. Some people will be so moved by a particular monologue that they will want to record it.
