It gives me great pleasure to share that “Patrick Stewart Performs the Complete Sonnets of William Shakespeare” is available now! If you followed my Sonnet-A-Day pandemic series, you’ll know the inspiration behind this project and the wonderful community that brought this to life.  All 154 of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, recorded with commentary by yours truly, are now available: bit.ly/PatrickStewartSonnets @SimonAudio
