Brutus and Other Heroines: Playing Shakespeare's Roles for Women by Harriet Walter

4.0

4.5 stars. Some of the earlier chapters, which were drawn from other pieces she wrote for various publications, etc., felt undeveloped. But the later chapters created specifically for this collection are amazing in giving us a peek inside how an actor develops a character - and specifically a character that has been played so many times by so many other actors. I always enjoy Harriet Walter in anything I've seen her in so this was a delight to read.

And if you can catch it, the Julius Caesar where she plays Brutus is phenomenal. I haven't seen the Henry IV (or Tempest, which she doesn't get into) yet but I hope I can.
