my life with the shakespeare cult
The slim little knife of a book that has become an underground classic.
It lays out the case for a better, wilder kind of Shakespeare: the kind that Shakespeare would have recognized:
Serious Actors
No Director
One Rehearsal
At a Bar
Because Shakespeare’s theatre was a goddamn madhouse. Losing sight of that was a bad mistake.
