A Personal Anthology of Shakespeare, compiled by Martin Clifton
By: William Shakespeare

He was a man who seemed to know everything about human nature and as Orson Welles said ‘he speaks to everyone and we all claim him’.
I know that it has been said that ‘it is impossible to be a great Shakespearian actor without an idiosyncratic and extraordinary voice’ and this may be so, but that does not preclude ordinary mortals from reading, hearing and enjoying Shakespeare.
