Why didn't Shakespeare write more roles for mature women? For Harriet Walter, the solution was to ignore the dictates of centuries of tradition, and to begin playing the mature male characters. An exploration of the Shakespearean canon through the eyes of a self-identified "feminist actor" - but, above all, a remarkable account of an acting career unconstrained by tradition or expectations.
