(Applause Books). There has been a great change in the last twenty
years to actor auditions, which now require the demonstration of
enormous flexibility. The actor is often expected to show more
range than ever before, and often several shorter audition speeches
are asked for instead of one or two longer ones. To stay at the top
of his or her game, the Shakespearean actor needs more knowledge of
what makes the play tick, especially since the early plays demand a
different style from the later ones. Each genre (comedy, history,
tragedy) has different requirements. No current monologue book
deals directly with the bulk of these concerns. One More unto the
Speech, Dear Friends now fills that gap. This three volume set will
help actors discover the extra details of humanity that the
original folio texts automatically offer. Of Shakespeare's 37
plays, only Pericles is not included. In the trilogy of books there
are over 900 separate audition possibilities. This represents about
600 more monologues than are available in any other series. There
are four parts to each speech: * A background giving context and
approximate timing; * A modern text version; * The original folio
version; * Commentary to explain the differences between the two
texts including full discussion of the devices peculiar to that
speech's genre, the age and gender of the character, and more.

In one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, the three daughters
of the king of Britain are put to the test of declaring their love
for their father, King Lear. The test leads to the expulsion of the
favorite daughter, Cordelia; the undermining of the king; and
ultimately the unraveling of Lear's sanity. In true Shakespeare
fashion, greed, war, lust, and misplaced good intensions intersect
to form an inevitable climax of poison and swordplay, making King
Lear arguably the greatest tragedy of all time. George Bernard Shaw
wrote, "No man will ever write a better tragedy than Lear" (Shaw on
Shakespeare, Applause Books). If there ever has been a

Published to mark the 400th anniversary of the book's original
publication, this facsimile edition faithfully reproduces one of
the finest copies held in the British Library collections. The
significance of the First Folio cannot be underestimated. It is the
only contemporary source of eighteen of Shakespeare's plays.
Without it, performances of such popular plays as The Tempest,
Twelfth Night and Macbeth would not be possible. Changes and
corrections were made during the long printing process. Small
alterations were also made to the (now iconic) portrait of
Shakespeare created by Martin Droeshout for the title page. As a
result, no two surviving copies of the First Folio are identical
and few are complete. Of the 750 copies that were originally
published, some 200 exist today. The British Library has five
copies, one of which is complete, and it is this copy that is
presented with an introductory booklet by curators Adrian S Edwards
and Tanya Kirk.
