The drama critic of The Times collects his short essays on literature and the stage. Many are playful pastiches: Sir Roger de Coverley at the Russian Ballet, Partridge at Julius Caesar, Dr Johnson at the Stadium, Uncle Toby puzzled, Lady Catherine and Mr Collins, alongside notes on Shakespeare, Aristotle and Disraeli on Irving.
Witty, bookish essays for anyone who enjoys literary parody and theatre gossip. Download the free EPUB.
