Great Resource for Directors in Classical Theater

Dramatic Events is an excellent resource for play directors and teachers of drama. Actors and playwrights will also find its insights useful. From easy-to-understand basics of how to read and speak Shakespearean verse to the more obscure requirements of working with masks and choral speaking, it is full of well-researched examples of how to solve the problems of classical texts. It is especially useful to American actors and directors, who typically do not receive as much training in the technical aspects of Shakespeare and Greek plays as acting students in Britain. It could be an excellent adjunct text for those teaching or studying advanced Linklaetter voice work.

A Great Resource

This books takes you through the author's experience step by step of running several forms of acting/drama workshops. It takes you from warm-up exercises through different performance goals. I found the book very helpful in developing my own improv/acting workshops.
