Product Description

Review
"Indispensable."--"The Bookseller"
"Theatre-goers are in safe hands...They will find this guide more useful than most programme notes, while students will find it more provocative than the average crammer...a reliable companion: accurate, vivid, a foil for your thoughts-and even a help with the cryptic crossword."--"Independent"
"Very few of us have a working knowledge of all 38 of Shakespeare's plays. "A Pocket Guide to Shakespeare's Plays "provides the essential background for all who study, teach, direct, or watch Shakespeare."--Timothy West

All 36 plays are covered in this guide from the point of view of text and performance. The book includes an introduction to Shakespeare and his times, a note on the sources, cast lists, synopses, main character descriptions, an essay on each play and a selection of well-known quotations.

this is a very useful guide to Shakespeare's plays; telling you the plot and the caracters and how they interact. I went to see The Tempest recently and it was a play i didnt know at all, and this guide was very usefull.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible, 11 May 2009
Really useful for a quick/introductory guide to the plays. Makes a good point to start from if you want to know more about the plays, or to understand them a bit better.
