Shakespeare on Toast

Actor Ben Crystal brings the bright words and colourful characters of the world's greatest writer brilliantly to life, handing over the key to Shakespeare's plays, unlocking the difficult bits and, astonishingly, finding Shakespeare's own voice in among the poetry. Told in five fascinating Acts, SHAKESPEARE ON TOAST sweeps the cobwebs from the Bard - from language, his life, his time - revealing the man and his work to be relevant and accessible. This is a book for you, whether you're reading Shakespeare for the first time, occasionally finding him troublesome, or have never read his plays but have always wanted to.
