Description: Professor Evans helps the reader to visualise the stage action of Romeo and Juliet . His history of the play in the theatre is followed by a lucid commentary which alerts the reader to the difficulties of language, thought and staging. For this updated edition Thomas Moisan has added an account of the number of important professional theatre productions and the large output of scholarly criticism on the play which have appeared in recent years.
