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.'
