PositiveThe Washington Post[Dromgoole] has no tidy scholastic thesis; academics and tidiness irritate him. He is not pushing a new interpretation of the play or the playwright. Instead, like any good memoirist, he bounces unpredictably from revenge and the Islamic State to Istanbul and an ode to scaffolding ... Dromgoole the marketing impresario sometimes wanders into pompous cliches of Shakes-praise, but he is always saved by his directorial gift for particularity ... This Hamlet is not a tragedy about a doomed genius bounded in a nutshell, but a comic epic about company management. I’m not complaining. You will enjoy this book if, like me, you would rather reread Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy than Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa.”
