When we pick up a copy of a Shakespeare play; we assume that we hold in our hands an original record of his writing. We donrsquo;t. Present-day printings are an editorrsquo;s often subjective version of the script. Around 25 percent of any Shakespeare play will have been altered; and this creates an enormous amount of confusion. The only authentic edition of Shakespearersquo;s works is the First Folio; published by his friends and colleagues in 1623. This volume makes the case for printing and staging the plays as set in the First Folio; which preserved actor cues that helped players understand and perform their roles. The practices of modern editors are critiqued. Also included are sections on analyzing and acting the text; how a complex character can be created using the First Folio; and a directorrsquo;s approach to rehearsing Shakespeare with various exercises for both professional and student actors. In conclusion; all of the findings are applied to Measure for Measure.
