Players of Shakespeare 4 - Further Essays in Shakespearean Performance by Players with the Royal Shakespeare Company (Paperback, Revised)

This is the fourth volume of essays by actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Twelve actors, including Jane Lapotaire, Julian Glover and Sir Derek Jacobi describe the Shakespearian roles they played in productions between 1992 and 1997. The plays covered include The Merchant of Venice, Love's Labour's Lost, The Taming of the Shrew, Macbeth, The Winter's Tale, and Romeo and Juliet, among others. Emphasis among the comedies is on those notoriously difficult "clown" roles.
