Shakespeare On Stage: Volume 2 : Twelve Leading Actors on Twelve Key Roles

Miller's production- Patrick Stewart on his Las Vegas-set Shylock, a role he has played many times- Harriet Walter on Imogen in Shakespeare's late romance, Cymbeline, at the RSC- Zoë Wanamaker on her National Theatre Beatrice, directed by Nicholas HytnerEach actor leads us through the choices they made in rehearsal, and how the character works in performance, shedding new light on some of the most challenging roles in the canon. The result is a series of individual masterclasses that will be invaluable for other actors and directors, as well as students of Shakespeare - and fascinating for audiences of the plays.Shakespeare On Stage: Volume 2 was shortlisted for the 2018 Theatre Book Prize.'Absorbing and original...
