Pivotal Lines in Shakespeare and Others defines a pivotal line as
"a moment in the script that serves as a pathway into the larger
play ... a magnet to which the rest of the play, scenes before and
after, adheres." Homan offers his personal choices of such lines in
five plays by Shakespeare and works by Beckett, Brecht, Pinter,
Shepard, and Stoppard. Drawing on his own experience in the theatre
as actor and director and on campus as a teacher and scholar, he
pairs a Shakespearean play with one by a modern playwright as
mirrors for each other. One reviewer calls his approach
"ground-breaking." Another observes that his "experience with the
particular plays he has chosen is invaluable" since it allows us to
find "a wedge into such ironic texts." Academics and students alike
will find this volume particularly useful in aiding their own
discovery of a pivotal line or moment in the experience of reading
about, watching, or performing in a play.
