Book Description
Based on the author’s decades of teaching, pedagogical and theatrical research, and his professional experience as actor and director, Making a Scene: Creating a Scene Study Class for Actors offers a pedagogical approach to rehearsal scenes as a primary tool for diagnosis and actor improvement. This volume carefully lays out the case for thinking deeply and critically about the nature of every facet of an acting class: the environment of the classroom, the choice of material for performing, diagnostic tools for responding to scene sessions, and means for engaging all students. This study includes suggestions for a teacher’s philosophy towards the work; a justification for implementing games, improvisations, and etudes; suggestions for resources for exercises both basic and complex; and a brief discussion on approaches to period styles material and connecting it to contemporary student life and issues. Addressed to both the beginning theatre teacher and the seasoned educator, this will be an essential book for anyone seeking to update their work with performers in private studios, high school settings, or in higher education.

Book Description
Originally published in 1957, this book aimed to provide a self-contained introduction to the works of William Shakespeare, assessing his works thematically, structurally and linguistically. The first half of the book covers themes such as the tragic hero, comic relief and the part of the fool, as well as more technical topics such as the structure of the plays and figures of speech, whilst the latter half contains study and examination materials, supplying copious context questions, character studies and inquiries into plot. The book also discusses the Modern and Elizabethan theatres and supplies a full list of Shakespeare's plays as well as recommendations for further reading. Intended as a reliable introduction to Shakespeare for students, this book will also be useful for Shakespearean scholars and scholars in cognate fields such as education and history.

Book Description
After situating the libretti in the context of French classicism, the author first discusses the prologues to the Quinault-Lully operas, then devotes a chapter to each of the libretti in which he examines such traditional literary elements as performance history, plot, characterization, and style, as well as issues more specifically related to musical theater. The concluding chapter summarizes what opera can tell us about French classicism and explores in depth some of the key theoretical issues such as representation, imitation, and recognition.
