James Anthony's <em>Shakespeare Retold </em>would have helped me immensely. For every line I'd have had a lyrically identical modern-day translation that I precisely understood helping reveal the emphasis and punch of each moment of my stage performance. Every actor would benefit from this compelling translation. - <strong>PAAPA ESSIEDU</strong></h4>
