When we leave behind the Shakespeare we learned at school, a revered - and boring - cultural titan, we find plays that have no answers, only exciting and challenging questions. From a great Shakespeare scholar and critic, a dazzlingly witty and curious selection of essays on how we’ve made, remade and continue to imagine the works of the world’s most famous playwright.
