American Players Theater in Wisconsin is one of my favorite places in the world to visit. I am also a huge fan of Shakespeare and have read all of his plays and seen most of them live and on film. I understand that I am uniquely positioned to love this book about a 2014 production of Much Ado at APT.

As a member of an amateur theatre company, I read this account with interest. Details escape me now, as I neglected to review the book immediately upon completion while I was on vacation. However, I think it would be appreciated by anyone involved with the process of putting on a show.

The book was received as an audience gift at a Richard III performance by Chesapeake Shakespeare Company last winter.
