Customer Reviews

Anything but stale, flat, and unprofitable.

This is a most excellent collection of views of and writing about William Shakespeare. Their other books are possibly better books, but that does not distract from this great collection of writers, directors, and actors. There are a few pictures from some of the various plays (I like pictures). Not that every section was not good. However, my two favorites, possibly because I like their work, are the section “The Architect of Ideas” by Ben Kinsley and “Rough Magic” by Julie Taymor. I think Julie is sort of snot, but she put together some great works, including “The Tempest” (2010).
