Welcome to the RSC’s new Play Guide on Measure for Measure, which has been designed to record some of the journeys a company of actors made with their director, Sean Holmes, in a production of the play in 2003. It contains interviews with actors and other theatre practitioners who worked both on stage and behind the scenes.
The Play Guide also
looks at ways actors explore Shakespeare’s language
explores themes, genre and inter-textuality
gives background information to the play
puts the play in an historical perspective
examines the contemporary relevance of the play
offers practical lesson plans for teachers
We hope you will enjoy the Guide and find it both accessible and useful. All textual references are to the New Penguin Edition.
