Recenzii

'From a soft-porn Twelfth Night to Schwarzenegger in The Last Action Hero, this timely collection scampers through Blockbusters in search of Bardflicks ... Highlights are Peters S Donaldson on digital technology as magic (and Gielgud-as-Prospero-as-Shakespeare-as-Greenaway) in Prospero's Books, and Laurie E Osbourne's sensitive reading of the joint Welsh-Russian Animated Tales.' - Plays International

'Shakespeare The Movie offers down-to-earth practical help and advice that should illuminate many of the texts we teach.' - The Use of English
