Promptbooks from the Harvard Theatre Collection document over three centuries of Shakespeare plays in performance, ranging from a 17th-century staging of Hamlet to modern productions at Harvard’s own American Repertory Theater. More than 400 annotated scripts reflect the many ways performers have made Shakespeare’s plays their own.
This book is designed to assist upper secondary school and first and second-year university students in their reading and understanding of Shakespeare's plays. Discussion provides guidance on issues raised by each play and suggests approaches from which students can build original ideas and insights. The book contains interactive exercises designed to assist students to understand and remember characters, plots and structures of Shakespeare's plays. Vol 1 includes "As You Like It," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet."
