Shakespeare knew more about the art of acting and the art of theater than any other playwright—but there is no general consensus about how Shakespeare should be played. There are no rules. In A Shakespearean Actor Prepares, actor, director, and teacher Adrian Brine teams up with celebrated actor Michael York to reveal these keys. In pointing out sources of energy in Shakespeare's plays, they make it possible for actors to galvanize their fantasy and liberate their talents.

Peter Ducksworth, a Trinidadian widower of English ancestry, retires to Barbados, believing he will find an earthly paradise there. He decides to divide his land among his three daughters while he is alive, his intention not unlike that of King Lear, who hoped "That future strife/May be prevented now". But Lear made the fatal mistake of confusing flattery with love, and so does Ducksworth. Feeling snubbed by his youngest daughter, Ducksworth decides that only after he dies will she receive her portion of the land.

Story0
Hip-Hop Verse Shakespeare is a literary musical concept for literature, art, theater and music lovers to connect with Shakespeare’s characters re-imagined. Social perceptions are cleverly challenged in this narrative form. In the first book of the Hip-Hop Verse Shakespeare series, Othello: "When the Knight Fell" V.1 Clear Rises, our main character lives as a white minority amongst an African American music community. He finds his star contemptuously rising over the tough multicultural city of New York, and a forbidden love interest that has become impossible to contain.

Both have been adapted to radio and film and continue to be taught in high schools and universities.

Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations—not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents.

Ever wish you had an immediate snappy comeback or a perfect putdown? We all have, only to later think of what we could—or should—have said. Then who better to call on than Shakespeare, who mastered the art of dramatic conflict with rapier wit rather than swordplay? This audiobook is an entertaining and witty collection of some of the most cutting jeers and outrageous affronts ever spoken. Never miss an opportunity for a well-aimed insult by borrowing from the Bard.
