The Stage Business in Shakespeare’s Plays
by Arthur Colby Sprague
Though independent of it, this book adds to material in the author’s Shakespeare and the Actors. Although drawing largely on examples from 19th-century theatre, a reference to a 1951 production at Stratford-upon-Avon is a reminder of the breadth of Sprague’s knowledge and theatre experience. First published in 1954, reprinted with a Memoir by Lois Potter
