Product Description
Review
"- 'The book has much in common with the film Shakespeare in Love - full of colourful characters... [but] the book has an underlying darkness.' - Crime Time - 'This witty narative, laced with puns and word play so popular in this period, makes this an enjoyable racy tale.' - Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph - 'Philip Gooden brilliantly immerses us in the half- lit world of late Elizabethan London, an atmosphere where, as in the stage-play world, things are not as they seem... Gooden's grasp of the rythms and diction of the period is accomplished' - Catholic Herald
Product Description
It is midsummer in the year 1601. Nick Revill and his fellow actors of the company known as the Chamberlain's Men are journeying across the Wiltshire Downs for a country-house presentation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. It should be a pleasant well-paid jaunt to celebrate a noble marriage, but instead the players find themselves in the midst of a tense family atmosphere, somehow linked to the omnipresence of the household's sinister steward. Very soon Nick finds that the Dream has turned into a nightmare, where murder appears commonplace, and before too long he must fight to save his own life against the ancient backdrop of Stonehenge...
