Synopsis

In surveys of the plays that will help readers and viewers follow the action with ease and understanding, Robert Fallon opens a window to Shakespeare's time while illuminating the timelessness of his works. Mr. Fallon examines the most frequently staged plays scene by scene, and those less frequently performed act by act. He provides intelligent readers with incisive and engaging commentary on character, theme, setting, poetry, and stage history. Wonderfully reader-friendly. -William Kerrigan, University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Media Reviews
Wonderfully reader-friendly. -- William Kerrigan, University of Massachusetts at Amherst A nifty compendium...those who pride themselves on their cultural literacy won't admit it, but this book is as handy as they come. -- Steven Drukman, University of Chicago, Co-Editor of the Plays for Performance Series American Theatre An eloquent, lucid guide for prospective theatergoers, but also rich enough to enhance digestion when the show is over. -- Nicholas Rudall
