Any Shakespeare lover needs to read this book. Any fan of plays and literature should too. Farim-Cooper’s writing is so insightful and approachable, and as a Black actor who loves Shakespeare there were points raised that I had never even considered, even in plays I’d consider myself intimately familiar with. A perfect read to start 2025!
