    About this ebook

    Mark Rylance, the Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe says: As an actor and director I use and recommend the Applause First Folio Editions. They are extremely actor-friendly and share the greatest thing to happen for Shakespearean actors at the end of this century, an annotated, unedited original text, spelling mistakes and all.

      The Final Word

      Dec 21, 2018

      Arts criticism—what’s the point? Jenna Simeonov asks…is there room for ‘biased’ observers in the classical media? There’s a question that has lingered, passive and benign, around the topic of arts criticism. And for me in particular, in recent months
