- Reviews
- Marti, Markus. Shakespeare Jahrbuch 142 (2006): 184-91 (in review-article).
`Perrig focussed on the weak, vacillating king, slimming down the confusing cast of characters and seeking, above all, to illuminate the psychology of the protagonists, whose political poker for the royal throne was cloaked in drizzle throughout’. Juergen Berger writing on the Goethe Institute website www.goethe.de (accessed 12/2007)
