"...a great range of examples from all over the world." -Creative
Review
".with over a thousand posters from 55 countries it offers an
opportunity to delve into how different cultures interpret
Shakespeare's classic stories of love, tragedy, and twisted
identities." -Hyperallergic
"The most striking posters in the book are the brainy minimalists,
like the giant gloved and clenched fist in a French production of
'Othello, ' or the deliciously morbid meat ice cream cone in an
Argentine 'Hamlet.'" -New York Times
"The organization of the book is a stroke of genius..The book is
irresistible on many levels, not least for the reading, which
includes a preface by Julie Taymor." -Design Arts Daily
"Shakespeare on a skateboard or punkish with tattoos, Romeo i Julia
with a heart-shaped bear trap, a Ralph Steadman Macbeth--from
delicate to horrifying, these posters are arresting." -Shelf
Awareness
"The artists' interpretations of the plays are as varied as the
takes of actors and directors who have approached the material over
the many decades since they premiered, providing the diverse visual
archive that amazes." -Print
"Next year marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, but
his plays live on. How they have managed to put butts in pews all
this time is addressed, and generously illustrated, in a gorgeous
new coffee table book, Presenting Shakespeare." -Playbill
