About this title

Synopsis

How does a Shakespearean actor achieve both genuine passion and absolute clarity? Written in the form of a play and set in an acting studio, Mastering Shakespeare imagines a veteran acting instructor and sixteen students grappling with the answer to that question and more. Featuring in-depth explorations of speeches from more than thirty of Shakespeare's plays, Scott Kaiser's insightful book presents specific acting challenges and provides practical solutions in a uniquely entertaining format.
