My Shakespeare: A Director’s Journey through the First Folio by Greg Doran

My Shakespeare: A Director’s Journey through the First Folio by Greg Doran 

Charting the personal and professional journey of Greg Doran, Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company from 2012-2022, who has directed or produced all of the plays within Shakespeare’s First Folio, a milestone reached in the same year as the 400th anniversary of its original publication. Each chapter looks at a different play, considering the choices made and weaving in autobiographical detail and background on the RSC, along with insight into key collaborations with actors and theatre practitioners. Strikingly illustrated throughout with stills from RSC plays, Doran’s writing uniquely captures the excitement, surprises, joys and agonies of working on these great plays and offers an intimate understanding of what the works of Shakespeare can give us.
