Synopsis

This is a most fascinating book and it is set out like a play. The outlook is International and innovative. It is a book you will want to keep. So, explore it in a Library and put it on your birthday present list!' - Southend Shakespeare Company 'One is left with the impression not of a complete project but of the first communication in a new and exciting dialogue. It is difficult to convey the sheer energy of the book by simply describing its contents. All the participants speak with a sense of commitment and excitement which arises as a result of being involved in a truly creative enterprise.

My charm crack not, my spirit obey; and time Goes upright with his carriage." He can be pleased with the magic he has brought about.' - Group Analysis 'Apart from its intrinsic interest for those whose professional lives involve the care of mentally disordered offenders this book is recommended to those with an interest in the point and purpose of drama as well as being a highly original addition to the library of all those in love with Shakespeare.' - Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health 'The book provides a valuable record of events and of an exceptional audience's reactions, along with broader thoughts about the role of drama in therapy.' - Shakespeare Survey 'The year's most striking account of contemporary Shakespearean performance.
