If there’s any group that would have noticed, this would be it. But just in
case, a book from Judy Dench was published this week.
Here’s the publisher’s description for Shakespeare: The Man who Pays the Rent.
No need for me to offer something different.
"For the very first time, Judi 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 with incisive
clarity, revealing the secrets of her rehearsal process and inviting us to
share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans.
'Interspersed with vignettes on audiences, critics, company spirit and
rehearsal room etiquette, she serves up priceless revelations on everything
from the craft of speaking in verse to her personal interpretations of some of
Shakespeare's most famous scenes, all brightened by her mischievous sense of
humour, striking level of honesty and a peppering of hilarious anecdotes, many
of which have remained under lock and key until now."
What I can say myself is that I began to feel guilty enjoying the book so much
and not mentioning it to this particular group, just in case the general noise
level kept you from noticing it.
I’m not sure there’s anything like it.
Love,
Carl
