Reviews

A very lively and enthusiastic introduction to the full range of Shakespeare's plays. I can think of no better way to encounter the issues that these plays raise and the possibilities that they offer for performance. Michael Scott's wholly admirable strategy is to focus on particular issues that the plays raise, to incorporate into his discussions some aspects of the latest scholarship, and to provide pathways through the texts with a firm eye on the reader's and the spectator's enjoyment -- John Drakakis, Professor of English, University of Stirling
