520 1 $a"Clear, easy-to-use, and comprehensive, The Practical Shakespeare looks at stage-craft and playwriting as conduits for students, teachers, and general audiences to engage with, understand, and appreciate the genius of Shakespeare." "Colin Butler draws from many mainstream plays, such as Macbeth, Othello, Much Ado about Nothing, and A Midsummer Night's Dream, to bring special focus to the way. Shakespeare uses the stage to his advantage. Butler supports his major points with quotations, so readers can understand an issue even if they are unfamiliar with the particular play being discussed. The author also cross-references the use of dramatic devices in the plays, increasing the reader's appreciation of Shakespeare's achievements."--BOOK JACKET.
