HI,everyone, I am an university student from China. Now our university is having a drama night and our team is going to perform the winter's tale. I am one of the directors and I am trying my best to do my job. As I am new to the shakespeare's world, I badly need your help and advice. Are there anyone who knows how I can find some audios about this play? I have heard that when you are studying shakespeare, you cannot just read the text. you must learn to appreciate its sounds, its rhythm and the stage performance-because it is drama! I am really grateful that I can get the chance to get to know more about shakespeare through the drama night and I really want to do a good job. So any suggestions and comments are welcome! Thank you very much for help!

The lines tend to be spoken as lines, if they are in verse. Most of Shakespeare's nobility speak in iambic pentameter, and it is voiced like that - with strong rhythyms.
