Publisher's note


'How can I bring the text alive, make it vivid, how do I make people hear it for the first time? How can I enter into that world and not feel a stranger. How can I not feel clumsy and inept? ... How can I speak it without sounding artificial or actory? In other words, how can I make it real ...?'


Adrian Noble has worked on Shakespeare with everyone from oscar-nominated actors to groups of schoolchildren. Here he draws on several decades of top-level directing experience to shed new light on how to bring some of theatre's seminal texts to life.


He shows you how to approach the perennial issues of performing Shakespeare, including:




  • wordplay - using colour vs playing plain, wit vs comedy, making language muscular



  • building a character - different strategies, using the text, Stanislavski vs Shakespeare



  • shape and structure - headlining a speech, playing soliloquys, determining a speech's purpose and letting the verse empower you



  • dialogue - building tension, sharing responsibility and 'passing the ball'.



Adrian Noble stunningly manages to combine instruction and inspiration. Whether you are an actor or a student, you will miss his guided tour of Shakespeare's complex but unfailingly rewarding work at your peril.
