A Theatergoer's Guide to Shakespeare by Robert Thomas Fallon
In surveys of the plays that will help readers and viewers follow the action with ease and understanding, Robert Fallon opens a window to Shakespeare's time while illuminating the timelessness of his works. Mr. Fallon examines the most frequently staged plays scene by scene, and those less frequently performed act by act. He provides intelligent readers with incisive and engaging commentary on character, theme, setting, poetry, and stage history. Wonderfully reader-friendly. -William Kerrigan, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

An eloquent, lucid guide for prospective theatergoers, but also rich enough to enhance digestion when the show is over. -- Nicholas Rudall
