Starting with how theatrical speech was understood in Renaissance England, this book looks at figures of speech, the powers of persuasion, and the passion and rhythm inherent in the language. Considering how the actors for whom Shakespeare wrote his plays made his characters come to life, it demonstrates the hard course a modern Shakespearean actor must follow.
How did the actors for whom Shakespeare wrote his plays make his characters come to life, how did they convey his words? Can modern directors, actors, and even library readers of Shakespeare learn from them?
Creating character and making the Elizabethan playwright’s poetry compelling for the audience is a problem which has seldom been resolved in modern times. This book demonstrates the hard course a modern actor must follow to make real and truthful the words he speaks, and the action and emotion underlying them. With examples and simple exercises, this book helps with the preparation for the great task – providing the actor with a combination that unlocks the Bard's English.
