Produktbeschreibung
Although it is not the earliest extant version of several of his plays, the First Folio of 1623 is the most important of the editions of Shakespeare's work and has become a sort of Bible for students and interpreters of his plays. Don Weingust examines approaches to the First Folio with an eye to releasing the kinds of information that would be useful in performance. Does the extra syllable here mean the line is to be rushed? Does the odd setting of words indicate a pause in performance? Does the strikingly off-note comma tell us something about the character's state of mind? This book is a valuable contribution to current debate among students of Shakespearean staging, dramaturgy, and Renaissane drama, and reveals enhanced possibilities for Shakespearean performance.
Acting from Shakespeare's First Folio examines a series of techniques for reading and performing Shakespeare's plays that are based on the texts of the first `complete¿ volume of Shakespeare's works: the First Folio of 1623.
