While he created superhuman characters and set them in situations that stretch the imagination to its limits, he also provided his actors with the keys to playing them. \u003ci\u003eA Shakespearean Actor Prepares\u003c\/i\u003e reveals these keys.  \u003cp\u003e  There is no general consensus about how Shakespeare \"should\" be played: There are no rules. This book is not concerned with arriving, but with setting out. It will point out the \u003ci\u003esources of energy\u003c\/i\u003e in his plays, which, if tapped, will galvanize an actor's fantasy and liberate his talent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith \u0026 Kraus, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056606396656,"sku":"9781575251899","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575251899_p0.jpg?v=1763796363","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575251899","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
