Reviews

This edition of the Scottish play includes accessible and informative introductory chapters which serve as helpful cross-references for actors, teachers and students when translating from page to stage. The series editor has taken great care to emphasise creative opportunities actors are afforded via variations in punctuation, lineation and metre. * National Drama *
