Product Description

Simon Callow, best-selling author and acclaimed stage and screen actor, immerses himself in Henry IV, Part I and brings to life not only Falstaff but the entire play in a vividly drawn, in-depth consideration of the actor's craft and the art of the play. Shakespeare's work is important in shaping our language and character. The enduring popularity and success of Shakespearean productions in theatre and on film is a truly international and cross-cultural phenomenon. The aim of the Actors on Shakespeare series is to provide a unique and accessible contemporary commentary to each of the plays via top-class actors who have performed in them.

Editorial Reviews

Independent, 12 July 2002
There is much to enjoy here. The writing preserves the individuality of the actors, while at the same time retaining the clarity and intelligence.

Daily Telegraph, June 2002
These books are travellers’ tales; fascinating stories of personal attempts to colonise the infinitely receding Shakespearean landscape.

Spectator, 19 July 2002
These little books should be thrust into the hands of every student.
