karenbultiauw's review against another edition
5.0
This is definitely not a scholar's book to help you examine Shakespeare's plays. If you are however an actor wanting to take an in depth view at Shakespeare's texts it is an invaluable reference.
The first part of the book tells us about the clues Shakespeare put into his text (pentameter, deviations from the normal rhythm, etc.) and how this helps us as actors. The second part of the book takes those clues to the practice with analyses of some of Shakespeare's most important speeches.
