In each volume of the Shakespeare on Stage series; a leading actor takes us behind the scenes; recreating in detail a memorable performance in one of Shakespeares major roles. They discuss their character; working through the play scene by scene; with refreshing candour and in forensic detail. The result is a masterclass on playing the role; invaluable for other actors and directors; as well as students of Shakespeare - and fascinating for audiences of the play. In this volume; Ralph Fiennes discusses his experience playing Shakespeares least sympathetic hero; the title role in Coriolanus in Jonathan Kents 2000 production. This interview; together with the others in the series (with actors such as Judi Dench; Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart); is also available in the collection Shakespeare on Stage: Thirteen Leading Actors on Thirteen Key Roles by Julian Curry; with a foreword by Trevor Nunn. absorbing and original... Currys actors are often thinking and talking as that other professional performer; Shakespeare himself; might have done TLS

However; what I found very annoying while reading this book was her frequent use of English words and phrases; where a Spanish word or phrase would have been just fine and a lot less pedantic. Was she trying to sound "cool"? It did not work for me. Her editors even didnt catch some words that were just plain wrong. For instance; she used "sleepers"; where she meant "slippers" and should have stuck with the Spanish word for slippers; which is zapatillas. I think the language and sentence flow would have been a lot smoother and in Natys words a lot less "cursi".0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I can only hope that my daughter will be as fabulous and beautiful as Naty AbascalBy AAragonI have always been a fan of Naty Abascal. While I did not name my daughter Natividad which is her given name. I did name my daughter Natalia; but rather than call her Nati (with an "I" which is the most common spelling); I call her Naty with a "y". I can only hope that my daughter will be as fabulous and beautiful as Naty Abascal!!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Mauricio CabreraExcellent
