Their careers encompass almost a century of theatrical experience, from John Gielgud's childhood before the First World War to Judi Dench's performances in the first decades of the new millennium. The volume affords invaluable insights into changing approaches to the actor's craft, the aims and methods of the theatre, the institutions presenting productions and, above all, to Shakespeare's plays themselves.  \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRussell Jackson\u003c\/b\u003e is Allardyce Nicoll Chair in Drama and Theatre Arts at the University of Birmingham, UK.
