This book, which explores the full extent of Shakespeare performances in
England over the past decade, invites a broad readership of playgoers
and students. As a regular theater reviewer, Holland has examined the
variety, the strengths and the problems of English productions and
companies. They are charted chronologically here, and compared with
productions elsewhere. Peter Holland's reviews are individually
thoughtful, provocative and illuminating; cumulatively they show that
there is no one English Shakespeare style but a rich and often
bewildering variety.
