'This book gives some of the very best of Shakespeare's
twenty-first-century colleagues an opportunity to share insights
that can only come from playing him' Nicholas Hytner, from his
Foreword Twelve leading actors take us behind the scenes of
landmark Shakespearean productions, each recreating in detail their
memorable performance in a major role. Roger Allam on his Falstaff
in both Henry IV plays at Shakespeare's Globe Eileen Atkins on
Viola in two productions of Twelfth Night seventeen years apart
Simon Russell Beale on Cassius in Deborah Warner's modern-dress
Julius Caesar Chiwetel Ejiofor on his Donmar Warehouse Othello,
directed by Michael Grandage Sara Kestelman on Hippolyta and
Titania in Peter Brook's iconic white-box Dream Ian McKellen on one
of Shakespeare's most demanding of roles: King Lear Michael
Pennington on stepping in at the eleventh hour as Timon of Athens
Alan Rickman on re-evaluating the melancholic Jaques in As You Like
It Fiona Shaw on Shakespeare's Shrew, Katherine, in Jonathan
Miller's production Patrick Stewart on his Las Vegas-set Shylock, a
role he has played many times Harriet Walter on Imogen in
Shakespeare's late romance, Cymbeline, at the RSC Zoe Wanamaker on
her National Theatre Beatrice, directed by Nicholas Hytner Each
actor leads us through the choices they made in rehearsal, and how
the character works in performance, shedding new light on some of
the most challenging roles in the canon. The result is a series of
individual masterclasses that will be invaluable for other actors
and directors, as well as students of Shakespeare - and fascinating
for audiences of the plays. Shakespeare On Stage: Volume 2 was
shortlisted for the 2018 Theatre Book Prize. 'Absorbing and
original... Curry's actors are often thinking and talking as that
other professional performer, Shakespeare himself, might have
done.' TLS on Shakespeare On Stage: Vol. 1
