"The respectful but playful approach of Instant Shakespeare pinpoints the shortcomings of contemporary Shakespeare practice and training, particularly generic and postmodern interpretations. It confronts theatre artists with the importance of conscious personal responsibility for the creative process. Employing analogies from music and architecture, Mr. Fantasia insists upon the hard and sometimes tedious work that necessarily underlies solid artistic choices.
He shows how to understand Shakespeare's vocabulary as well as the structure and essential dramatic event of each play. He provides exercise monologues, exercise scenes, and tools for textual analysis; explains correct breathing; and lays out his philosophies of training and performance." "Through Instant Shakespeare, novices and professionals alike can achieve the textual clarity, nuanced characters, and dynamic actions that drive the most vigorous Shakespearean performances."--BOOK JACKET.
