Book Review: SHAKESPEARE – THE MAN WHO PAYS THE RENT, Judi Dench
by Debbie Gilpin - November 08, 2023
There are plenty of Shakespeare books on the market already, it’s true – but there aren’t many out there quite like this one. Originally intended to be a series of conversations between Judi Dench and her friend & colleague Brendan O’Hea for the Globe’s archives, it became apparent that there was more than enough material to build an enlightening and entertaining book.
