Acting and Directing Shakespeare's Comedies

• This is the first book on acting Shakespeare that incorporates modern clown techniques and historically informed performance principles in a way that synthesizes well with contemporary acting technique.
• This book is pragmatic and clear for the 21st-century actor and director. All of the information is explained in a manner that can be easily translated into acting choices through a conventional rehearsal process.
• The case study section presents several interpretive examples that show how the principles and techniques presented in this book can be used selectively and in concert to create a role.
