Description

‘You can’t act Shakespeare until you can speak him.’ This book by one of the world’s leading voice coaches goes to the heart of acting Shakespeare. From the basics of verse-speaking through to the rehearsal of leading roles from Hamlet, King Lear, Richard III, Macbeth and others, Patsy Rodenburg unlocks some of the greatest challenges that any actor will ever encounter. Combining clear practical, textual and imaginative work with a brilliant analysis of scenes and speeches from the whole range of his plays, this is an essential and inspiring guide for anyone working with Shakespeare today.
