answer:Antony and Cleopatra: Shakespeare Handbook I am directing Antony and Cleopatra for my theatre group’s Shakespeare in the Park next summer, and I’m already hard at work on the production. I was glad to read a book dedicated to the theatrical aspects of the play and not another criticism of the text. The book had a good background of history of Shakespearean and Jacobean theatre. It went scene-by-scene through the lengthy drama and made valuable points for staging each. There was space given to criticism of the text, and finally an excellent bibliography for further study. I was gratified to find many of my own ideas for staging the play reinforced by the author. I believe I’m on the right track with the play. For those who might be curious, here is a brief announcement of the prodcution.
