A fascinating playbill of stories from the weird and wonderful world of Shakespearean theatre through the centuries; including distinguished actors falling off stages; fluffed lines; performances in the dark; and why you must never; ever say the name of that Scottish play; especially if you are Peter OToole. Discover a wealth of Shakespearean shenanigans over the years; including the terrible behaviour of the groundlings at Shakespeares Globe; how the rude mechanicals in A Midsummer Nights Dream got recast as a bunch of ladies from the WI; and how Dame Maggie Smith got even with Sir Laurence Olivier.Published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of Shakespearersquo;s death; this treasury of curious tales is a must-read for all Shakespeare lovers and theatre fans.
