Media Reviews
If you think you know something about Shakespeare (as I used to), you're sure find this book challenging, perhaps frustrating, but in any case enormous fun. -- Michael J. Chepiga , playwright of Getting and Spending and recipient of the Beverly Hills Theater Guild Julie Harris Playwright Award and L. A
A delightful and sophisticated compendium for Shakespeare enthusiasts. -- David A. Brush, Ph.D., Chair, History Department, Pomfret School
...[A] choice pick, very much recommended reading. * Midwest Book Review *
A deceptively thin Shakespeare quiz book, Bard Games is a toughie sure to level even the nerdiest of theatre geeks. * American Theatre *
Fascinating fun for both novices and Shakespeare experts alike. * Renaissance Magazine *
