"Perhaps the most theatrical section of the book is “Shakespeare, tradition, and the Avant-Garde in Chiara Guidi’s Macbeth su Macbeth su Macbeth” since there is an interview conducted by Sonia Massai and while Chiara Guidi is answering the questions she reveals an innovative approach to Shakespeare and especially to his texts (his words, his language)." -- Necla Cikigil, Middle East Technical University
