Improvising Shakespeare is a book designed for college actors, directors, and others who are trying to learn how to bring dramatic texts to the stage. Most readers come to a play ready to discuss issues, argue themes, or analyze imagery. But when it is time to make theater, a very different kind of reading is called for—one that requires readers to participate in the creation of a theatrical illusion. This text introduces, and puts into practice, this second kind of reading.
