About the Author:

Jonnie Patricia Mobley, Ph.D., editor and translator of the new "Access to Shakespeare" series, has taught theatre and drama at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, California, and has directed the community theater there.

Because of her extensive theatrical experience, Dr. Mobley is familiar with the hesitation of modern readers to "tackle" Shakespeare. She recognized a great need to make it easier for students and adults alike to understand obscure words and phrases in THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH. This, in turn, gave rise to the creation of the translation into contemporary English.

To make additional in-depth information on MACBETH available, this manual/study guide was created. It is Dr. Mobley's wish that modern readers enjoy this play in the same way an Elizabethan audience did.

Jonnie Patricia Mobley is also the author of "Play Production Today" ( ISBN 0844257753) and "The Dictionary of Theatre and Drama Terms" (ISBN 0844253332).
