Acting and Action in Shakespearean Tragedy

This intensely personal book develops a new approach to the study of action in drama. Michael Goldman eloquently applies a method based on a crucial fact: our experience of a play in the theater is almost exclusively our experience of acting. Originally published in 1985.
