Synopsis
“It is his range of knowledge—along with a gift for writing clearly and memorably—that makes him such a fine guide.”—Times Literary Supplement
This widely experienced actor and director takes us scene-by-scene through Shakespeare’s much-performed comedy, elucidating how it actually works on stage, what choices are open to performers, and what impact those choices will have. A must for teachers, students, and actors approaching the play.
