DID NOT FINISH: 40%

DNF at 40%
I understand why it has the reviews/ratings it does, but it wasn't the book for me. Didn't vibe with the writing style, switched between audio & physical a few times to see if that helped, but ultimately I just didn't love it and picking it up felt like a chore.

loved the writing

Recently I’ve read a nonfiction love letter to the theatre. This feels like the love letter from the world of fiction. An audacious premise which seems both far-fetched and perfectly reasonable throughout the book. It slightly lost me in the middle, but the last 100 pages were fantastic. This book takes you through every emotion of the classics. It also demonstrates the impact of theatre. If you engage with theatre, you grow in empathy, perspective and ultimately love. This book has all 3 in spades.
