Despite a debilitating Shakespeare phobia, he must share the stage with actors he's panned in the past and avoid getting panned himself by fellow critics. Vivid, realistic, behind-the-curtain action.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When a local critic takes an acting role with a top-tier theater company in order to write about the experience, he gets more of a story than he bargained for.</p><p>"An irrational, overriding, mind-numbing fear." That's how Asher Kaufman describes his relationship with Shakespeare--not what you might expect from a veteran theater critic. So when Asher learns he'll be trying out for <em>As You Like It</em>, he realizes this assignment will be a very bumpy ride.</p><p>What starts out as a stunt to increase readership for the <em>Cleveland Jewish Chronicle</em> becomes one man's personal battle with the Bard and ends up a laugh-out-loud tale full of twists and turns, endearing characters, and behind-the-curtain action.</p><p>How will this clandestine critic overcome his lifelong fear--while sharing the stage with actors whose past performances he panned (and without getting panned himself by his fellow critics)? It's enough to give anyone opening night jitters!</p><p>This fictional memoir will delight theater fans who have ever wondered what might be going on backstage during a performance--or in the mind of a theater critic.</p>
