Acting Shakespeare

Riassunto

Starting with how theatrical speech was understood in Renaissance England, this book looks at figures of speech, the powers of persuasion, and the passion and rhythm inherent in the language. Considering how the actors for whom Shakespeare wrote his plays made his characters come to life, it demonstrates the hard course a modern Shakespearean actor must follow.
