Playing Shakespeare: An Actor's Guide by John Barton
5.0
Fantastic. Judge this book by its cover. I kind of did and it exceeded expectations.
Adapted from a 1984 televised series you can find on YouTube, I enjoyed having the videos handy to watch the actors demonstrate. Actors like Ian McKellen, Judy Dench, Patrick Stewart, Ben Kingsley...
It's a dual masterclass in acting and lit analysis, always vivid and alive and to a rich worthwhile point, typical of the RSC folks. If the concept sounds interesting, you won't be disappointed.
