…and One Classical: A Shakespeare Audition Handbook

…and One Classical: A Shakespeare Audition Handbook is a new manual for theatre students, wherein the author draws upon years of experience teaching, directing and coaching to offer up advice and wisdom covering all the important aspects of preparing for a Shakespearian audition.

This dazzling array of pieces is organized in an easily accessible format with accompanying annotations. Drawn from comedy, tragedy and history, the pieces 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. Every selection has been chosen according to its appropriateness to young actors, many of whom often present pieces that are beyond them in age and scope.

The result is a compendium 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.
