Shakespeare Magazine 10
Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Richard III on the cover of Shakespeare Magazine 10. And our second cover features Sophie Okonedo, who stars with Benedict in the epic BBC Shakespeare series The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses. Inside the magazine, we interview Hollow Crown director Dominic Cooke, and share our gallery of iconic Hollow Crown images. Also this issue, we explore Shakespeare's First Folio with the expert guidance of Emma Smith. And we learn all about Shakespeare's Globe from Farah Karim-Cooper. We take a walk on the dark side with the witches of Macbeth, while the stars reveal How Shakespeare Changed My Life. If you're bored of traditional theatre, let us tell you about Table Top Shakespeare. And our look at Indian Shakespeare films shows the Bard is much-loved in Bollywood. Finally, our biggest-ever issue has an audacious mash-up of Shakespeare with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. May the Bard Be With You!
