Review:

This book is priceless to anyone going to see a Shakespeare performance for the first time or for those that are studying Shakespeare at school. Just before going to see the play I read the first section of the book that explains about the characters and the plot. I still got lost in the dialogue slightly but didn't struggle half as much as I would have if I hadn't read this first. * 5 star Amazon review *
