[Mark Ludmon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fascinating insights from leading actors about performing different Shakespeare characters. It offers analysis of key productions, including the approaches of top directors and how successful actors prepare for and interpret a role, including detailed examination of text. It is also interspersed with plenty of delightful anecdotes and snippets of what goes on behind the scenes. Ideal for actors and directors, it will also appeal to fans and students of Shakespeare.

[Harry McDonald · Rating 4 out of 5]

Actors talking about acting may be incredibly indulgent but it is also incredibly compelling.
