PRAISE FOR SHAKESPEARE RETOLDSchools and colleges will stamp and cheer with unrestrained gratitude and delight. - STEPHEN FRY
Tackling Hamlet for The Royal Shakespeare Company is arguably the most daunting role for any actor. For me, learning the words was the easy part; interpreting the nuances of the language and breathing life into the performance was brutally tough. James Anthony's Shakespeare, Retold would have helped me immensely. For every line, I'd have had a lyrically identical modern-day translation that I precisely understood, helping reveal the emphasis and punch of each moment of my stage performance. Every actor would benefit from this compelling translation. - PAAPA ESSIEDU
