Shakespeare's use of language can sometimes be difficult to understand, particularly when being read. Much of the reason for this difficulty is due to the fact that the texts were created to be performed, rather than read. By approaching the text from a player's point of view, a lot becomes clearer.
In this masterclass, Colin David Reese - a player with over 50 years of experience - will break down several scenes and speeches; as well as giving an overview of how Shakespeare used the verse and linguistic structure, not as literary devices, but as instructions to the players.
