Playing Bit Parts in Shakespeare is a unique survey of the small
supporting roles - such as foils, feeds, attendants and messengers
- that feature in Shakespeare's plays. Exploring such issues as how
bit players should conduct themselves within a scene, and how blank
verse or prose may be spoken to bring out the complexities of
character-definition, Playing Bit Parts in Shakespeare brings a
wealth of insights to the dynamic of scenic construction in
Shakespeare's dramaturgy. M.M. Mahood explores the different
functions of minimal characters, from clearing the stage to
epitomizing the overall effect of the comedy or tragedy, and looks
at how they can extend the audience's knowledge of the social world
of the play. She goes on to describe the entire corpus of minimal
roles in a selection of six plays: * Richard III * The Tempest *
King Lear * Antony & Cleopatra * Measure for Measure * Julius
Caesar This new edition comes enhanced with a new Appendix, 'Who
Says What', especially designed to aid directors in making
decisions about the speaking parts of the minimal characters. It
also comes complete with an index of characters (including line
references) as well as a detailed general index. An invaluable aid
for directors and actors in the rehearsal room, this perceptive and
informative volume is equally of interest to students studying and
writing about Shakespeare's plays.
