Hier ist eine kurze inhaltliche Einordnung der Clips von David Hewson:

We’re getting closer and closer to the launch of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel, a second Shakespeare adaptation from me and my co-conspirator A.J. Hartley. This one is, of course, narrated by the incomparable Richard Armitage and, like Macbeth before it, is an Audible production.
We promised you some goodies. Now it’s time to start delivering. Richard is, of course, a seasoned narrator with an extraordinary range of voices. Let’s give you a few examples, ones that will, I hope, prepare you for a few leaps of imagination in this retelling of a classic tale.
Here we hear one change from the usual Hamlet portrayal: the story doesn’t involve actors in tights, in an undated medieval world. This is Old Hamlet, the prince’s father, moody outside the castle. And the year is made plain… it’s 1600 around the time the play was written. Listen now.
And then there’s Ophelia. Not for us a guitar-playing, simpering hippie. She’s a real woman, trapped inside a difficult relationship with her father, Polonius. Listen now.
Not that Ophelia’s relationship with Hamlet is going to be any easier, as this clip shows. Listen now.
As for Hamlet… a thoughtful, suspicious young man who knows something’s deeply rotten in the state of Denmark. Here’s Richard giving voice to him. Listen now.
Beyond Elsinore too clouds are gathering. Fortinbras, son of a king slain by Hamlet’s own father, has designs on Denmark. It’s a sub-plot often lost in the play on stage. But here we aim to bring it to the fore. Fortinbras wants the Danish crown, something that ought to be Hamlet’s by right. Listen now.
And finally… soliloquies. So important on stage. But here something different happens. Hamlet is no longer speaking to himself — which would scarcely work in an audiobook any way. He has a foil. Old Hamlet, Young Hamlet, Old Norway, Young Norway. Fathers and sons echo throughout the play.
We’ve added another. Old Yorick was the court jester, Hamlet’s childhood friend, now dead for reasons no one quite understands. But we’ve given him a son, Young Yorick, an impertinent, ever-present voice in Hamlet’s ear. And one who prompts those thoughts internalised on stage. Like this… Listen now.
As you can imagine we’re incredibly excited by this innovative project, especially now we can let you hear Richard’s extraordinary narration. It’s released worldwide through Audible on May 20. In the meantime you can preorder here.
Klingt alles sehr interessant. Kann das ganze Stück ( lt. Hartely ca. 10 Stunden) kaum erwarten

So viele Hörproben. 
Wie viele Hinweise auf Richards Rollen sind darin eigentlich versteckt? 
Anne und ich kommen da nicht zum selben Ergebnis.
