Dear Mr Shakespeare,

Thank you for submitting your script. We loved it! However�

What if Shakespeare was writing today?

What if Shakespeare had to deal with the prejudices of today�s producers?

What if he had to circumnavigate the same rapids of bureaucracy, financial constraints, cuts in funding, political correctness, forced re-writes, miscasting, rejections, put-downs and “friendly advice” that the writers of today encounter?

Taking today�s attitudes Simon Reade has produced a sharp and novel companion to Shakespeare, for aficionados, playwrights, actors, academics and audiences alike
