Opis

Serves both as a script for performance and as a text for high school and college theater and English classes.

This self-contained script brings together different scenes from Shakespeare s plays to portray women in all their infinite variety. Two narrators, a man and a woman, introduce and comment on these scenes, weaving together the different characters and situations.

This book combines literary and theatrical techniques in examining Shakespeare s women. Its promptbook format provides clear, helpful stage directions on pages facing each of the scenes. Also helpful are concise glosses and footnotes to define difficult words and phrases plus a commentary to explain each scene in its dramatic context.

Other features include sheet music for each song in the play, a bibliography on the topic of women in Shakespeare s plays, and suggestions for directors who wish to stage the play."
