Who’s afraid of William Shakespeare? Just about everyone. He wrote too much and what he did write is inaccessible and elitist. Right? Wrong. Shakespeare on Toast knocks the stuffing from the staid old myth of Shakespeare, revealing the man and his plays for what they really are: modern, thrilling and uplifting drama. Told in five fascinating Acts, Shakespeare on Toast sweeps the cobwebs from the Bard, from his language, his life, his time, revealing both the man and his work to be relevant, accessible and full of beans. This is a book for everyone, whether you are reading Shakespeare for the first time, occassionally find him troublesome, think you know him backwards, or have never set foot near one of his play but always wanted to.
