Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays The Rent by Judi Dench

This Christmas discover the greatest writer in the English language as told by actor Dame Judi Dench in SHAKESPEARE The Man Who Pays The Rent :- a witty, insightful journey through the plays and tales of our beloved bard.

For the very first time, Judi Dench opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played in her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra.
