WORLDS ELSEWHERE - Andrew Dickson

Anti-apartheid Activist, Bollywood Screenwriter, Nazi Pin-Up, Hero of the Wild West: This is Shakespeare as you have never seen him before.

Travelling across four continents, six countries and 400 years, Worlds Elsewhere sees author Andrew Dickson take us on a personal journey rich in insight and surprise. From the sixteenth-century Baltic to the American Revolution, from colonial India to the skyscrapers of modern-day Shanghai, Shakespeare’s plays appear at the most fascinating of times and in the most unexpected of places.

For the cover we commissioned Andy Bridge to take the iconic Shakespeare bust and illustrate him in different guises. Working with metal and paint, Andy created the cover image in 3D which was then photographed from the front and behind to create the finished jacket.

Available now from The Bodley Head.

Lots of Andy Bridge to follow! Stay tuned!
