Judi Dench opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played throughout her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra. In a series of intimate conversations with actor & director Brendan O'Hea, she guides us through Shakespeare's plays, revealing the secrets of her rehearsal process and inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans.
What The Reviewers Say
Part intimate memoir, part insightful commentary, the book shows how the Dame and the Bard make a winning combination.
Mischievous and convivial, Dench delights in sending up O’Hea whenever his questions become too probing or pretentious.
[Dench's] passion for Shakespeare shines through every conversation reproduced here.
Utterly delightful.
