Shakespeare in Company
"Above all, [Van Es'] concern is, as his title proclaims, not so much with the great dramatist himself as with his acting companions...

[W]hat the author has to say may be of great interest to Shakespeare scholars." --The Heythrop Journal"[An] absorbing study." --The New Criterion"Highly recommended." --Choice
