In this sequence of essays - all but one published here for the first time - Peter Brook debates such questions as who was the man who wrote Shakespeares plays  why Shakespeare is never out of date  and how actors should approach Shakespeares verse. He also revisits some of the plays which he has directed with notable brilliance  including King Lear  Titus Andronicus and A Midsummer Nights Dream.  Taken as a whole  this short but immensely wise book offers an illuminating and provocative insight into a great directors relationship with our greatest playwright.  \"An invaluable gift from the greatest Shakespeare director of our time... Brooks genius  modesty  and brilliance shine through on every page.\" - James Shapiro  author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44950308487221,"sku":"ByrdShop_184842261X","price":90.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781848422612_b4d60e12-3f66-4442-a87c-9c29d93cbf72.jpg?v=1770371455","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-quality-of-mercy-reflections-on-shakespeare","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
