SHAKESPEARE & HIS PLAYERS

MARTIN HOLMES

Here is a fresh approach to Shakespeare's plays. From his knowledge of Elizabethan London and his practical experience in the theatre Martin Holmes shows how much of the drama can be brought to life by looking at the way Shakespeare achieved his effects. He explains Shakespeare's stage devices: the use of suggestion with small resources; the balance of voices, personal appearance, dress, and grouping; the artful use of ability or inability in a team of actors; the contrast between tension and comedy; the use of a minor character to paint an important stage picture; and many more. This book not only leads to deeper understanding and enjoyment of Shakespeare but is also a practical guide to producing and acting in the plays. Reading Shakespeare & His Players brings continual discovery and the pleasure of seeing how a master craftsman went about his work.

"This is a special book... Holmes fuses his knowledge of Elizabethan life and customs with a theatre-lover's instincts for what will work on a modern stage."

-Theatre Crafts

"Often ingenious... always provocative... Recommended to anyone involved in the production of the plays, as well as to all who have a serious interest in them.

—Library Journal

MARTIN HOLMES was educated at Westminster and Oxford and joined the London Museum in 1932. In his thirty-three years there his specialties included the collections dealing with Tudor and Stuart London, costume and armor, the robes and ritual of the coronation, and the development of the London stage. He was responsible for the museum's publications on these subjects and for the official guide to the Crown jewels in the Tower of London. As a devoted amateur actor he has also had a lifetime's practical experience on the stage.
