Throughout these years, Peter Hall worked with the greatest Shakespearean actors of our generation including Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Edith Evans, Ralph Richardson, Peggy Ashcroft, Charles Laughton and in later years Judi Dench, Anthony Hopkins, Ian Holm, David Warner, and many others. Through this great line flows a tradition of speaking and understanding Shakespeare that remains as relevant and important today. And it is Hall's experience of working and learning with these and many other actors over the years that underpins the core of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSir Peter Hall\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the major figures in theatre today.
