Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (2 reviews)

Summary: Not very helpful
Comment: Nothing new here. Seems to be a re-write of the ideas in Cicely Berry's books on speaking Shakespeare. Was looking for some new insights. Did not find any.

Summary: Telling It Like It Is
Comment: I'm not sure why I purchased this book in the first place--something told me I wouldn't understand Shakespeare simply by reading it unless I really learned to speak it.
It's blown my world wide open. This is an astonishing book--which even if it apparently looks like a workbook for actors, is more importantly a guide for anyone who'd like to know what planet she's landed on. Because you can't know much about planet earth if you don't know much about Shakespeare--and the secrets Shakespeare is willing to share with you aren't available unless you can hear his lines, and you can't hear them if you can't speak them.
Understand, I've been reading Shakespeare for 40 years. this book has doubled the pleasure and depth of the experience for me.
