Tina Packer is a published author. Her book, Shakespeare & Company: When Action is Eloquence (2020), written with Bella Merlin, provides the first comprehensive insight into the acclaimed company she founded, along with voice pioneer Kristin Linklater, in 1978 in Lenox, Massachusetts.
Women of Will (2016) is the result of a lifelong exploration into Shakespeare’s famed yet misunderstood heroines; it is based on her five-part performance piece of the same name, which enjoyed critical acclaim in its off-Broadway run. Power Plays: Shakespeare’s Lessons in Leadership & Management (2001) was co-written with John Whitney and spent several weeks on the Business Best-Seller charts. Her children’s book, Tales from Shakespeare (2004), received the Parents’ Choice Award.
Her forthcoming book, Shakespeare in the Theatre: Tina Packer, is due out in 2024.
