Shakespearian Players and Performances
Arthur Colby Sprague
What were great Shakespearian actors really like? Arthur Sprague recreates celebrated performances on certain nights—he has Garrick as Lear, Betterton and Kemble as Hamlet, Mrs. Siddons as Lady Macbeth, Kean as Othello, Irving as Shylock, and Edwin Booth as Iago. In the matter of Shakespearian performances, he has much to say about William Poel, the first modern Shakespearian director, and he includes an account of his own playgoing during this century, remarking on certain tendencies in Shakespearian acting and production today.
These portrayals will delight and instruct all who are interested in Shakespeare—as drama, as literature, as philosophy of life.
