Judi Dench Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Wohl keine Schauspielerin kennt Shakespeares Dramen so gut wie Judi Dench, die seit sieben Jahrzehnten auf der Theaterbühne steht und Teil der Royal Shakespeare Company war. Mit einem Augenzwinkern, aber auch viel Liebe zur Literatur erzählt sie ihrem Gesprächspartner Brendan O’Hea von ihren Erfahrungen auf den Brettern, die die Welt bedeuten. Sie führt uns aber auch ein in den Zauber der shakespeareschen Welten, in die Geheimnisse der Theaterszene und nicht zuletzt die praktischen Seiten des Bühnenlebens. Ein wunderbares, ebenso lehrreiches wie amüsantes Buch, das seine Leserschaft zugleich ganz nah an eine der faszinierendsten Schauspielerinnen unserer Zeit heranlässt.

In "Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays The Rent," Dame Judi Dench shares her deep connection to Shakespeare through her seven-decade career. With humor and honesty, she recounts her roles, rehearsal secrets, and backstage stories in intimate conversations with Brendan O'Hea. Illustrated with her art, it's a heartfelt tribute to the Bard.

Een ongehuwde, jonge Ierse vrouw wordt gedwongen haar driejarig kind af te staan; tientallen jaren later gaat ze naar hem op zoek.

The SUNDAY TIMES bestselling memoir of Britain's best-loved actress, Dame Judi Dench. From the moment Judi Dench appeared as a teenager in the York Mystery Plays it was clear that acting would be her career. Trained at London's Central School of Speech and Drama it was her performance in her twenties as Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli's memorable Old Vic production that turned her into a star. In the theatre since she has played every classic role from Titania to Cleopatra. She first became a household name via television, thanks initially to a sitcom, A FINE ROMANCE, in which she played alongside the actor Michael Williams, whom she married in 1971. She has since made nine series of another sitcom, AS TIME GOES BY (with Geoffrey Palmer), as well as plays and classic serials such as CRANFORD. In the cinema her films have ranged from LADIES IN LAVENDER (opposite Maggie Smith) through NOTES ON A SCANDAL with Cate Blanchett to SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, in which she played Queen Elizabeth, a role which gained her a Hollywood Oscar. But it is her role as 'M' in seven James Bond films that has gained her worldwide recognition. This book is, however, much more than a career record. Her marriage to Michael Williams, their daughter, and her impish sense of humour contribute vividly to her account of more than half a century as Britain's best-loved actress.
