Synopsis
"Anecdotal, often lyrical, always thoughtful and occasionally laugh-aloud funny, Pennington's book is a must-read for anyone interested in Shakespeare from almost any angle - actor, drama student, teacher, director, technician, literature student or audience member." --The Stage
A fascinating exploration of Shakespeare's life and work - and the connection between the two - Sweet William is acclaimed actor Michael Pennington's personal and hugely revealing look at the Bard of Avon. It is illuminated throughout by the unrivalled insights into the plays that Pennington has gained from working on them as a leading actor, an artistic director and a director. Funny and informative, passionate and practical, this book will, like Shakespeare himself, enthral general readers, actors, and students alike.
