...And One Classical: A Shakespeare Audition Handbook

…and One Classical: A Shakespeare Audition Handbook is a textbook for theatre students wherein the author draws upon years of teaching, directing and coaching experience to offer advice and wisdom covering all the important aspects of preparing for a Shakespearean audition. This dazzling array of plays is organized in an easily accessible format with accompanying annotations. Drawn from comedy, tragedy and history, the plays are diverse in type, and, through a clever graphic design innovation, the category and genre of each piece can be quickly ascertained by consulting the logo at the top of each page. The result is a collection of Shakespearean gems that will demystify the audition process, inspire confidence and perhaps even ignite a love affair with the world’s most well-known but often misunderstood playwright.
