Selected Testimonials
Erica Whyman OBE, Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company:“I have long been a serious fan of Dr Islam Issa and his fresh, open and unflinching perspective on Shakespeare. He has been a terrific colleague to the Royal Shakespeare Company in recent years, supporting us to have searching and urgent conversations in our theatre-making and enabling stimulating and revealing conversation about our productions. The illuminating clarity he brings to Shakespeare’s resonance and difficulty across cultures and histories, is making an essential contribution to twenty-first-century Shakespeareans.”
