Shakespearean afterlives : ten characters with a life of their own
"Shakespearean Afterlives is a cultural biography of Shakespeare's most famous characters. From Shylock to the Shrew, Richard the Third to Romeo, it charts the many and various existences that these characters have led outside the pages of the First Folio." "Featuring interviews with experienced actors and directors including Sir Derek Jacobi, Sinead Cusack and Adrian Noble, this book, like the First Folio itself, is for 'the great Variety of Readers' who enjoy their Shakespeare and are intrigued by the seemingly endless capacity of his characters for re-invention and reincarnation."--BOOK JACKET
