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; Judi Dench discusses playing Juliet in Franco Zeffirellis Old Vic production of Romeo and Juliet when she was just twenty-three. This interview; together with the others in the series (with actors such as Jude Law; 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

Towering Achievement of American Urban Planning and Real EstateBy Daniel ServianskyThe new third edition perfects and updates this towering achievement of American urban planning and real estate. Building on his original material and methodologies; Alexander Garvin adds hundreds of new color photographs; illustrations and diagrams; as well as updating and bringing the story of American cities to the present day. From the first edition; Garvins work has served as the final word among those who study cities and endeavor to think seriously about real estate. Those who have followed the development of the text from the beginning will find it rewarding to see Garvin turn his attention to events of recent years; ranging from the 2008 economic crisis to Supreme Court zoning decisions to the latest developments in urban revitalization. The new photography and the new chapter on retrofitting cities are each major contributions in their own right to the field that could easily stand alone as separate works. Packaged with these new materials as well as with a comprehensive update to the original text; this edition of The American City will remain the definitive statement of its subject matter for decades to come.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good Solid Text for Introductory Urban Design SeminarBy ArchdrbozI have used this text in my introduction to urban design seminar starting with the first edition. The current edition is an improvement over the last in particular the images he uses to support the text. I use other readings in the class; after all this is Alexander Garvins point of view; and there is much other theoretical writing about the American city that places Garvins opinions in a more broad context. For an introductory class this is a good text. I recommend reading his 2013 book; The Planning Game: Lessons from Great Cities; it adds value to content in The American City What Works; What Doesnt.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
