How many ages hence Shall this our lofty scene be acted o'er In states unborn and accents yet unknown! - Julius Caesar, III.i.111 Many ages later, we are still enjoying Shakespeare's works. But, too often, his plays are studied as "literature," ignoring the fact that Shakespeare wrote plays for living performance. Richard Courtney puts the focus back where it should be, helping us to understand the works of Shakespeare as dramas intended for an audience. Written for directors and actors, the eight books in the series will also interest theatregoers, scholars, and the general reader seeking a fuller understanding of Shakespeare's works.
