Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays The Rent

English

By (author): Judi Dench

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER

Let Dame Judi Dench take you behind the scenes of a life loving the Bard as she shares her story with, and enduring affection for, William Shakespeare.

'A wonderful mixture of appreciation and anecdote' Financial Times, Books of the Year
'A MAGICAL LOVE LETTER TO SHAKESPEARE' Sir Kenneth Branagh
If you love Judi Dench or Shakespeare (and most of us do), look no further Guardian
'Wonderfully inspiring, riveting. A delightful spell in the company of one of our greatest actresses Daily Mail, Books of the Year
Gloriously entertaining Observer


Taking a curtain call with a live snake in her wig...

Cavorting naked through the countryside painted green...

Acting opposite a child with a pumpkin on his head...


These are just a few of the things Dame Judi Dench has done in the name of Shakespeare.

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.

Here she reveals her behind the scenes secrets; inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans, all brightened by her mischievous sense of humour and striking honesty.
Witty, provocative and inspiring, this is ultimately Judi's love letter to Shakespeare, or rather, The Man Who Pays The Rent.


An utterly delightful book Shakespeare from a great actors perspective that repeatedly strikes to the heart of the matter with a sharp instinctive intelligence that puts fancy-pants literary critics to shame Telegraph

A wonderful ode to the bard I
The book is pure enchantment. It swirls and dances with brilliance and mischief, so forget traditional Shakespearean criticism and analysis. Sack the Eng. Lit. professors. As never before, this book brings the subject to wild, authentic life. Daily Mail
Riveting, revealing and witty Gazette and Herald
