Here art thou real Shakespeare.
The resurgence of interest in Shakespeares playslargely due to recent film adaptationshas reminded the world that Shakespearean theatre is a social art form.
This guide focuses on the essence of the spoken word of his plays rather than simply dissecting them. It also explores the cultural and historical contexts for the major plays, offering the directors and actors perspective in addition to that of the scholar and close reader.

Offers commentary on the experience of each play on and off stage with attention to language and verse
Appendixes include Shakespeares likely collaborations, a glossary, suggested further reading, and resources for viewing live performances and video/audio recordings
Perfect for students, general readers, theatergoers, and actors
Published to commemorate Shakespeares 443rd birthday

Going to a Shakespeare Play? Read this Book. April 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ms Greenwood certainly knows Shakespeare and her passion shows. The book is well written and so in depth. This book is must reading for anyone planning to see a Shakespearean production. It gives the reader a better appreciation of what should seen on stage. It will also influence the viewer when watching a "bad interpretation" of a character as well. This book helps answer the question, "why should I care about about a Shakespearean play?"
