Shakespeare: The Man from Stratford UK Tour 2010
Jonathan Bate is an outstanding scholar (and author of the
best existing biography of Shakespeare) who writes with as
much elegance as insight about the making of theatre and the
creation of the plays
Richard Eyre, The Sunday Telegraph
Callow is by turns, informative, funny, dramatic,
charismatic and, above all, convincing. Whether you’re
familiar with Shakespeare or not, the effect of examining
his plays and his life in this way, being performed by a
truly great actor, brings to the fore the beauty and breadth
of the writing, and more than anything else, the truth of
it.
The Cambridgeshire Agenda
A fascinating journey… The greatest treat is seeing
such a fine actor as Callow in a vast range of roles within a
single performance… Simply breathtaking.
The Liverpool Echo
Simon Callow bring Shakespeare to life… We come away
feeling we know the writer better than we ever have
before… I suspect this is a production that will be
talked about for years to come and that anyone reviewing the
great theatrical experiences of the 21st century will place
it high upon their list of personal favourites.
