Description
Drawn from recently-discovered archives, The Shakespeare Notebooks is the holy grail of Bard scholars: conclusive proof that the Doctor not only appeared throughout Shakespeare’s life, but had a significant impact on his writing. In these pages you’ll find early drafts of scenes and notes for characters that never appeared in the plays; discarded lines of dialogue and sonnets; never-before-seen journal entries; and much more.
From the original notes for Hamlet (with a very different appearance by the ghost) and revealing early versions of the faeries of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, to strange stage directions revised to remove references to a mysterious blue box, The Shakespeare Notebooks is an astonishing document that offers a unique insight into the mind of one of history’s most respected and admired figures. And also, of course, William Shakespeare.

Loved every minute of it. It’s the perfect combination of Shakespeare and Doctor Who. Of course, the Doctor can’t stay a way from a genius like Shakespeare. The extracts fr the various plays are awesomely written. They feel like written by the Bard himself. I especially liked Macbeth. I was missing Much Ado though. Would’ve been hilarious to have 10 and Donna be Benedick and Beatrice through some kind of shenanigans
