Opening up a new window to see Shakespeares words in a different light and gathering his intentions in a simple, clear way, this book presents the Cue Scripts from the Comedies in Shakespeares First Folio. The book invites readers to approach Shakespeares texts the way his actors would have not studying the complete text and drawing conclusions from it, but working from a Cue Script, where all the lines for a particular character are written, with just a two- or three-word cue as to when they should speak. As an actor himself, Shakespeare knew that his actors would have little time to do more than learn their lines for the next imminent performance for this reason, he placed in the first lines of every Cue Script a range of crucial information on the characters motives and intentions. Studying the cues and following the playwrights clues opens up a whole new understanding of the roles, and provides a way of approaching a play that is authentic, quick, and creates an impactful performance. Examples of Cue Script scenes along with a summary of the various clues that were written to help the original actors are included in the book. A practical and unique resource for students, teachers, performers, and directors alike, Shakespeares First Folio Cue Scripts Comedies helps demystify Shakespeares texts, provides new approaches to scene studies, and sheds new light on Shakespeares most popular works.
