In this entertaining but hugely informative book, the reader will discover why Shakespeare himself had to play Lady Macbeth on its first performance, and a great deal more besides.

An engrossing and eccentric compendium, shedding light on the weird and wonderful life of the world's greatest playwright, who may not have even written his own plays! Extracts will be featured in the "Daily Mail".
