Description: "To an actor first approaching Elizabethan theater, Shakespearean verse can seem the most puzzling to interpret. But hidden within the text of every Shakespeare play lie directions, provided by the playwright himself. In Playing Shakespeare, John Barton draws on more than thirty-five years of experience as the Royal Shakespeare Company's associate director to offer a practical guide to how these plays work."--BOOK JACKET.
