A LOVE LETTER TO 67 YEARS OF ACTING ON STAGE
A witty, insightful journey through the plays and tales of our beloved Shakespeare

'Wonderfully inspiring. A delightful spell in the company of one of our greatest actresses' Daily Mail, Books of the Year

'Gloriously entertaining. Reading it feels like a chat with an old friend' Observer

'A magical love letter to Shakespeare' Kenneth Branagh

----

For the very first time, Judi Dench opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played in her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra.

Here, she reveals her behind the scenes secrets; inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans, all brightened by her mischievous sense of humour and striking honesty.

This is Judi's love letter to William Shakespeare - the man who pays the rent.

----
