A review by careydnelson
And Furthermore by Judi Dench

4.0

Why yes I would like Dame Judi Dench to tell me theater stories today.

I recommend the audiobook version as I feel the anecdotal nature of the book is more suited to the format. I fell into the theater stories easily, but the glimpses of her diva nature were jarring. There really are people that full of themselves.

There is an economy of language to the way a classical actor relays stories. A novelist she is not. I found myself marveling at the bare words delivering clear and punchy images as if her entire life played out on a beloved sitcom set. As a fan and an actor I enjoyed this.
