Playing Bit Parts in Shakespeare Book

Playing Bit Parts in Shakespeare is a unique survey of the small supporting roles--such as foils, feeds, attendants and messengers--that appear in Shakespeare's plays. Exploring such issues as how bit players should conduct themselves within a scene, and how blank verse or prose may be spoken to bring out the complexities of character-definition, this book brings a wealth of insight to scenic construction in Shakespeare's dramaturgy. M. M. Mahood explores the different functions of minimal characters, from clearing the stage to epitomizing the overall effect of the comedy or tragedy, and looks at how they can extend the audience's knowledge of the social world of the play. Plays discussed include: Richard III, The Tempest, King Lear, Antony & Cleopatra, Measure for Measure and Julius Ceasar.Read More
