pickThis was such a delightful book! I have never been that curious about Shakespeare‘s plays, but hearing Judi Dench talk about her experience playing different characters was a treat.
Loved the banter between Judi and Brendan, it was very entertaining.
If you are a fan of Shakespeare, Judi Dench or if you are just curious about his work (like I was), read this!

Wonderful series of interviews between Cave and an Irish journalist/friend that took place over the COVID years.
They do discuss Nick‘s influences, music and his formative years in Australia, but mostly the discussion relates to his spiritual and religious views, work ethic and the grief experienced in the aftermath of the death of Arthur and, to a lesser extent, his mother and Anita Lane.
Very thought-provoking.
pickThis was a complete delight. Highly recommended if you are interested in Dame Judi, Shakespeare, theatre history, the RSC, or acting in general. I googled so many pictures and fell down so many Wiki holes, looking up people and productions she talks about.
Great listen! Makes me want to hunt down the film versions with Dame Judi so I can watch them.
I haven‘t finished a book in a few days and I‘m in the middle of too many…This one is so lovely!
This is Dame Judi Dench talking about playing Gertrude at the National Theatre in Richard Eyre‘s production of Hamlet in the late 80s. The Dan in this passage is Daniel Day-Lewis. In the question before this one she said he “gave the most phenomenal performance.”
pickThis was magnificent! A series of interviews of Judi Dench on her long career as a Shakespearean actress. She just adores Shakespeare and had an absolutely phenomenal career. Her enthusiasm comes out along with her insight in to playing these roles. So many major performances and she embraced them and the texts so deeply. I can't recommend this highly enough to anyone who feels that Shakespeare love. Especially our #Shakespearereadalong veterans.
