In each story Shakespeare brilliantly transports us to other places, times, cultures and communities, but for all their differentness and exotic heat and dust, in essence they are places we know only too well -- Katie Law * Evening Standard *
Shakespeare captures this historical moment beautifully and in elegant prose..It's a fascinating story... skilfully told. It is also timely. Because the story Shakespeare tells resonates so deeply with current tensions it is weightier than its length might suggest. * Praise for the story 'Oddfellows', The Saturday Paper *
