The Inquirer: Trudy Rubin reviews Shakespeare in Kabul
'Last week I read a book called Shakespeare in Kabul that probably upends everything you thought you knew about Afghanistan.'
A review of SHAKESPEARE IN KABUL on The Shakespeare Blog
'It’s a fascinating story, beginning with the difficulties of translating the play, and the problems of finding actors since theatre is not part of Afghanistan’s culture...'
Hugh Thomson writes about SHAKESPEARE IN KABUL
'A remarkable new book has just come out about trying to mount a production of Shakespeare in Afghanistan, using a mixed cast, which of course is in itself a radical step...'
Dr Paul Edmondson on SHAKESPEARE IN KABUL
'I wish this book especially well because hearing Stephen talk about it reminded me of the freedoms that Shakespeare and poetry and drama make possible.'

Shakespeare William Shakespeare (1564–1616) was born a tradesman’s son in Stratford-upon-Avon and died one of the town’s wealthiest and most respected citizens. His would have seemed no more than a modestly and prosaically successful career, were it not for the fact that he was also a writer of genius. |

Marco Polo Marco Polo (1254–1324), the son of a Venetian merchant family, left Europe with his father and uncle in 1271 on a trading mission to the court of the Mongol Emperor of China, Khubilai Khan. The man who returned 24 years later was unrecognisable, but soon accepted as Marco by his family when he showed them the jewels he had brought back from the East. Captured by the Genoese in a later battle, he dictated his memoirs to his cellmate. The result was 'A Description of the World', more misleadingly known as the 'Travels'. |
