Synopsis

Shakespeare tells the actor when to go fast and when to go slow; when to pause, when to come in on cue and when to accent a word. His text is full of such clues. He tells the actor when but never tells him why or how. That is up to the actor. It is much like making a musical score live; Shakespeare heard the lines as he wrote them. It is also a celebration of Peter Hall as the greatest living director of Shakespeare, from his early days at Cambridge, through founding the RSC at Stratford-upon-Avon, and later to his fifteen years as Director of the National Theatre.

Revue de presse

'Acting students and young professionals will flock to learn from him....passionate, entertaining... Indisputably wise and true... Wonderfully illuminating'  Telegraph

--Telegraph

'As fascinating to readers as it is to actors'  Independent

--Independent

'This is the most fabulously hybrid book – part actor’s handbook, part memoir – what is most inspiring is Hall’s conviction that form can be as exciting as feeling/ Acting in this way is more than just listening to Shakespeare – it is responding to Shakespeare’s linear needs'  Observer
