Inhaltsangabe

There is Nothing Like a Dane! is an affectionate compilation of mostly funny, but sometimes serious bits and pieces about Hamlet - interwoven with Clive Francis's wonderful caricatures of various members of the theatrical profession variously strutting their stuff. The great hall of fame is duly visited, though its inhabitants are not always as dignified as they would like to seem. Here are glimpses in word and picture of the likes of Kenneth Branagh, John Gielgud, Henry Irving, Jonathan Pryce, Alee Guinness, Richard Burton, and, of course, Laurence Olivier. The literary tone is elevated now and then by contributions from Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Henry Fielding and PG Wodehouse. This is a book for actors and audiences - and Shakespeare buffs on their day off.
