Acting from Shakespeare's First Folio examines a series of
techniques for reading and performing Shakespeare's plays that are
based on the texts of the first 'complete' volume of Shakespeare's
works: the First Folio of 1623. Do extra syllables in a line
suggest how it might be played? Can Folio commas reveal character?
Don Weingust places this work on Folio performance possibility
within current understandings about Shakespearean text, describing
ways in which these challenging theories about acting often align
quite nicely with the work of the theories' critics. As part of
this study, Weingust looks at the work of Patrick Tucker and his
London-based Original Shakespeare Company, who have sought to
discover the opportunities in using First Folio texts, acting
techniques, and what they consider to be original Shakespearean
performance methodologies. Weingust argues that their experimental
performances at the Globe on Bankside have revealed enhanced
possibilities not only for performing Shakespeare, but for
theatrical practice in general.
