Harriet Walter
Rezensionen
She Speaks! - bold and original - is many rewarding books in one. In these pages one of the great actors of our age asks: 'What were Ophelia, Rosalind, Cleopatra and Shakespeare's other women characters really thinking?' Drawing on her own rich performance history, Harriet Walter gives them voice in Shakespearean pentameter verse, and what they have to say is both witty and profound. I was dazzled many years ago when I saw her play Ophelia at the Royal Court, and continue to be dazzled by her brilliance and hard-won insights into the plays. It's a book that anyone who cares about Shakespeare will want to own, and share James Shapiro, author of 1599: A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF SHAKESPEARE
