Customer Reviews

an excellent book for the student actor

Brubaker's little book has been one of the best secrets in the business of acting shakespeare for almost a quarter of a century. It is a no nonsense approach to the mechanics and reasons behind the mechanics of blank verse. Almost everyone in the professional theatre under forty knows of it, and it is the underground book of choice for instructors of verse acting throughout American Universities and conservatories. A must in helping inexperienced actors getting Elizabethan drama from the page to the stage, it is also a refreshing reminder of first principles in verse acting for seasoned professionals.
