Description

Performing the works of William Shakespeare can feel daunting for new actors. This guide by author Herb Parker offers a fresh perspective to help beginners master the Bard. Instead of struggling with realism, this book teaches actors to embrace the outrageous situations and non-realistic, presentational nature of Shakespearean plays. Shakespearean drama is driven by language and the spoken word. The themes and plots are fantastic and out of the ordinary, making them the very definition of outrageous. By shifting your mindset, you can approach these complex roles with more confidence and ease. This book provides the tools needed to navigate the unique demands of classical theatre through practical application and expert guidance.

Key Features

Provides practical exercises and improvisations to help actors master the spoken word and language-driven drama.

Offers specific coaching points to help performers navigate non-realistic and presentational acting styles.

Helps actors move past the fear of daunting classical texts by embracing the unique themes and plots.

Uses a specialized approach to make playing the Bard easier for those new to the performing arts.
