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.

Midsummer Night's Dream: A user's Guide
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
