Immensely well-informed and highly readable. A revelatory journey of cultural exploration
Professor Stanley Wells, General Editor of the Oxford and Penguin Shakespeares
There were very few pages on which I didn’t learn something new or revelatory. A must-read for anyone interested in Shakespeare’s impact on people and politics around the globe
James Shapiro, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare
Brilliantly original. Absolutely engaging, witty and irresistible. What’s most remarkable: he’s said something new about Shakespeare
Michael Pye, author of The Edge of the World
A truly original book about Shakespeare: one that explores the dramatist's global reach with tenacity, devotion and an exhilarating spirit of adventure
Michael Billington
A tour de force by any standards, a fascinating blend of travelogue and Shakespearean research that reads like a detective story
David Crystal, author of The Stories of English
An extraordinarily exhilarating book. It is like no other Shakespeare criticism you have ever read … his cross-cultural insights into Shakespeare are remarkable … illustrated by and interwoven with many human stories
Margaret Drabble, New Statesman
Hugely enjoyable ... inspiring ... the book is a joy, full to bursting with surprising incidents, stories and insight
