Aprašymas

At Last! A practical handbook for Shakespearean Performance.
The bard wrote the world's greatest verse plays. Almost all of them are performed or read as prose--by default, not by decision. This is a tragic waste but it is fixable.

THIS BOOK HAS TWO GOALS:

- to persuade you that the great rewards of verse speaking and reading are worth much more than the modest effort required to master them

- to provide the information and guidance needed to lead you down this path

Use this book and experience the music of Shakespeare as never before.

Believe it!

This book is a wonder! Written in such a straightforward--almost conversational--style that no reader can possibly be inhibited by the material. It is delightfully short yet manages to be absolutely comprehensive.
