Amazon has been out of stock of Toast for a little while now – I’m assured it’ll be be back in stock in the next couple of days, but in the mean time I’d recommend The Book Depository, one of my favourite online book stores.
Head to Buy Toast! for relevant direct links…
A fantastic workshop this morning at the Royal National Theatre, as part of the William Poel verse-speaking festival. Cicely Berry, the grand-dam of voice and Shakespeare gave the workshop after mine – I intended to stay for 5 minutes, and was there until the end. Great to watch a master at work.
Now off to Hay-on-Wye, for the literary festival’s Winter Weekend.
I’ll be reading for Libby Purves tomorrow morning, then giving a talk on Toast tomorrow afternoon, at 2.30pm.

…has this to say about Toast…
Ben Crystal’s excellent book is an ideal way to gain an understanding of why Shakespeare is so brilliant, and so enjoyable.
Four months to publication, the wonderful and very kind Judi Dench has this to say about Shakespeare on Toast:
This is a brilliantly enjoyable look at Shakespeare which dispels the myths and makes him accessible to all. I love it!
Hi, and welcome to the Shakespeare on Toast website.
I’ve set this site up as a base for my new book Shakespeare on Toast – Getting a Taste for the Bard, published by Icon Books in September 2008.
In times to come, there’ll be details of literary festival talks, reviews, and anything else interesting I can think of.
There’s also a Facebook group that’s been set up, for those of you that do, and a space there for a discussion forum.
If you’d like to hear more about the book, and exactly why it’s different from all the other books on Shakespeare, click here for the video I recorded for Meet the Author, or you can click on the Amazon link over to the right under Toast Links, to pre-order the book.
Thanks for visiting…
Ben
