'Terrific... should be read by anyone who wants to understand more about the Bard, his players, his times and today's interpretations of his stupendous creations... a great book for anyone who loves the theatre' * Observer * 'It is hard to offer enough praise to this book... a tremendous knowledge of the canon... the writing is always practical and never dry or dull... might become definitive guidance for many who wish to follow in the author's footsteps' * British Theatre Guide *

'It would be a mistake to assume that this terrific book is purely for those who tread the boards. It should be read by anyone who wants to understand more about the Bard, his players, his times and today's interpretations of his stupendous creations... A great book for anyone who loves the theatre.' Observer 'an invaluable guide to those who act and to all those who wish to gain deeper insights into the performance of Shakespeare's plays' Stanley Wells from his Foreword 'brings alive the experience of feeling one's way through the play... an authority that teachers and students might envy' Guardian on Playing Lear
