If music be the food of love, play on; 
If music is the fuel of love, play on! 
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, 
Play tunes aplenty till I’ve heard too much, 
The appetite may sicken, and so die. 
And then these pangs will pale and fade away. 
That strain again! it had a dying fall. 
Play that refrain again; I found it haunting. PRAISE FOR SHAKESPEARE RETOLD"Schools and colleges will stamp and cheer with unrestrained gratitude and delight." – STEPHEN FRY\n“Tackling Hamlet for The Royal Shakespeare Company is arguably the most daunting role for any actor. For me, learning the words was the easy part; interpreting the nuances of the language and breathing life into the performance was brutally tough. James Anthony’s Shakespeare, Retold would have helped me immensely. For every line, I’d have had a lyrically identical modern-day translation that I precisely understood, helping reveal the emphasis and punch of each moment of my stage performance. Every actor would benefit from this compelling translation.” – PAAPA ESSIEDU

Is this a dagger which I see before me, 
Is this a dagger that I see before me, 
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. 
The handle pointing at my hand? I'll hold it. 
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. 
It isn't really there, yet I can see it.

Macbeth: Shakespeare Retold

An offbeat, poignant and life-affirming American road-trip from 'the English Bill Bryson.' Award-winning author James Anthony's 'modern times travel masterpiece' invokes Kerouac and Steinbeck as he uncovers the people, places and history of North America with his wry British perspective.\nBurnt out after running his own business, James Anthony arrives in the pastel skies of Florida's Key West to start a journey of catharsis. His destination? Deadhorse, Alaska, on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, via the backroads of the continent.\nDodging burly wildlife keen to take a bite out of him, Anthony meets the quirky, good-hearted folk of North America’s backwaters, learning how Britain influenced the continent’s history, much of it painfully unsavoury. Along the way, he gets serenaded in an African-American Church in Miami; goes peanut farming in Georgia; hitches a ferry ride across the Mississippi with moonshine-drinking locals; gets drunk with a North Dakotan farmer who has three months to live; survives a haunting in Saskatchewan; nearly gets squashed by an irate buffalo in the Northern Rockies; and arrives at the Arctic Ocean just before freeze-up.\nPassionate, touching, hilarious, and insightful, The Slow Road to Deadhorse chronicles an Englishman’s road-trip through the North America most people never get to see. Come along for the ride.
