The Inquirer: Trudy Rubin reviews Shakespeare in Kabul
'Last week I read a book called Shakespeare in Kabul that probably upends everything you thought you knew about Afghanistan.'
A review of SHAKESPEARE IN KABUL on The Shakespeare Blog
'It’s a fascinating story, beginning with the difficulties of translating the play, and the problems of finding actors since theatre is not part of Afghanistan’s culture...'
Hugh Thomson writes about SHAKESPEARE IN KABUL
'A remarkable new book has just come out about trying to mount a production of Shakespeare in Afghanistan, using a mixed cast, which of course is in itself a radical step...'
Dr Paul Edmondson on SHAKESPEARE IN KABUL
'I wish this book especially well because hearing Stephen talk about it reminded me of the freedoms that Shakespeare and poetry and drama make possible.'

By Jonathan Clements
His leadership of the communist revolution and the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, after two decades of civil war and Japanese invasion, earned him the title Chairman Mao and the Great Leader.
'Mao Zedong went from being a poor farmer's son to a revolutionary leader, a general in World War II and the ruler of the world's most populous nation. Alternately glorified and demonized, not only in the Western world, but also in the China that he once ruled, his influence persists to this day. This new biography will capitalize on new information that has recently come to light, about his private life (and his several wives), with the publication of memoirs by his doctor and former nurse, among others.'
Jonathan Clements is a British author and scriptwriter focused on East Asia. He studied Chinese and Japanese at the University of Leeds.
