DESCRIPTION
Why Study Shakespeare? His plays, written between 1590 and 1613, have been in almost constant production since their creation. He deals with universal truths and conflicts in human nature; his plays continue to draw audiences from all walks of life, just as they did in their own day. Shakespeare was a word-maker supreme. Not a day goes by that we do not speak and hear, or read and write his legacy. He made up more than 1,700 words- 8.5% of his written vocabulary. Reading his works is like reading the birth of language itself. Contemporary Ben Johnson said, “He was not of an age but for all time.”TRANSCRIPT

thoughts, delivered alone onstage Monologue- long speech delivered to another Aside- a private remark to one character or to the
audience (It is understood not to be heard by other characters).

Stage Directions
Stage Directions- help the cast and production staff bring the text to life.
Playwrights include instructions about the setting, costumes, lighting, scenery, and props used onstage.
This text may tell how and when characters should move and deliver lines.
Stage directions are usually printed in italics and set in brackets or parentheses.
