Hugely enjoyable ... inspiring ... the book is a joy, full to bursting with surprising incidents, stories and insight
Dominic Gromgoole, Sunday Times
There were very few pages on which I didn’t learn something new or revelatory. A must-read for anyone interested in Shakespeare’s impact on people and politics around the globe
James Shapiro, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare
Much more than just a hugely entertaining travelogue. In its original, idiosyncratic way, Dickson’s action-packed global quest amounts to a substantial new contribution to Shakespeare scholarship
Anthony Holden, Observer
An extraordinarily exhilarating book. It is like no other Shakespeare criticism you have ever read … his cross-cultural insights into Shakespeare are remarkable … illustrated by and interwoven with many human stories
Margaret Drabble, New Statesman
Eye-opening and engrossing
Mail on Sunday
Immensely well-informed and highly readable. A revelatory journey of cultural exploration

Brilliantly original. Absolutely engaging, witty and irresistible. What’s most remarkable: he’s said something new about Shakespeare
Michael Pye, author of The Edge of the World
A truly original book about Shakespeare: one that explores the dramatist's global reach with tenacity, devotion and an exhilarating spirit of adventure
Michael Billington
Dickson makes an engaging, idiosyncratic guide as he investigates the details of Shakespeare's global reach.
