A quirky collection of true stories from the weird and wonderful
world of Shakespearean theatre, featuring distinguished actors
falling off stages, fluffed lines, performances in the dark, and
why you must never, ever say the name of that Scottish play,
especially if you are Peter O'Toole. A fascinating playbill of
stories from the weird and wonderful world of Shakespearean theatre
through the centuries, including distinguished actors falling off
stages, fluffed lines, performances in the dark, and why you must
never, ever say the name of that Scottish play, especially if you
are Peter O'Toole. Discover a wealth of Shakespearean shenanigans
over the years, including the terrible behaviour of the groundlings
at Shakespeare's Globe, how the 'rude mechanicals' in A Midsummer
Night's Dream got recast as a bunch of ladies from the WI, and how
Dame Maggie Smith got even with Sir Laurence Olivier. Published to
coincide with the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, this
treasury of curious tales is a must-read for all Shakespeare lovers
and theatre fans. Word count: 45,000
