Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench, Brendan O’Hea

4.0

When it comes to reading Shakespeare, I’m not a fan (high school in the late 80’s and early 90’s). The older I’ve gotten, I’ve discovered that Shakespeare is fine, depending on the media. I prefer my Shakespeare in performance - 

Judi Dench - I’ve not seen her much - I love to hate her as Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice (2005) and besides Daniel Craig, she was the best part of the Bond movies, but knowing of her career, her professional longevity, when I was invited to read this, I happily accepted. Engaging and interesting, I enjoyed this one a lot. 

Actors, Shakespeare lovers, and fans of Judi Dench will adore this one. 

I read this in e-book format, and while I recommend it, I think I would have enjoyed it even more in audiobook format.
