Thirteen leading actors take us behind the scenes, each recreating
in detail a memorable performance in one of Shakespeare's major
roles. * Brian Cox on Titus Andronicus in Deborah Warner's visceral
RSC production * Judi Dench on being directed by Franco Zeffirelli
as a twenty-three-year-old Juliet * Ralph Fiennes on Shakespeare's
least sympathetic hero Coriolanus * Rebecca Hall on Rosalind in As
You Like It, directed by her father, Sir Peter * Derek Jacobi on
his hilariously poker-backed Malvolio for Michael Grandage * Jude
Law on his Hamlet, a palpable hit in the West End and on Broadway *
Adrian Lester on a modern-dress Henry V at the National, during the
invasion of Iraq * Ian McKellen on his Macbeth, opposite Judi Dench
in Trevor Nunn's RSC production * Helen Mirren on a role she was
born for, and has played three times: Cleopatra * Tim Pigott-Smith
on Leontes in Peter Hall's Restoration Winter's Tale at the
National * Kevin Spacey on his high-tech, modern-dress Richard II *
Patrick Stewart on Prospero in Rupert Goold's arctic Tempest for
the RSC * Penelope Wilton on Isabella in Jonathan Miller's
'chamber' Measure for Measure The actors discuss their characters,
working through the play scene by scene, with refreshing candour
and in forensic detail. The result is a masterclass on playing each
role, invaluable for other actors and directors, as well as
students of Shakespeare - and fascinating for audiences of the
plays. Together, the interviews give one of the most comprehensive
pictures yet of these characters in performance, and of the choices
that these great actors have made in bringing them thrillingly to
life. 'These passages of times remembered contribute vividly to the
sense of a teemingly creative period when Shakespeare seemed to
have been rediscovered.' Trevor Nunn, from his Foreword
