Abstract:
"Each play is explored in its theatrical complexity, with particular attention paid to directorial and acting challenges, character quirks and development, and the particularities of Shakespearean language. Directing successes are recounted, but the failures are not shied away from, an indispensable text for anyone producing Shakespeare's plays"--Provided by publisher.
