It's been a good while since I posted about what I'm reading. This was a gift from a dear friend and IS a gift from a woman, I now feel is also a dear friend. The contents are the transcribed interviews by Brendan O'Hea of Judi reminiscing about her many roles in Shakespeare plays over her long and storied career. The result is an intimate portrait not only of this award winning actor and master of the Bard's words, but a coming to life of those very words. Dame Judi explores both the considered meaning of Shakespeare's genius, but also the many places and people who have guided her journey. The book is simply delicious. A must read for anyone who admires Judi Dench, and a fascinating foray into the mind and magic of William Shakespeare, too.
