The Line Is Only the Start

A script gives you the words and a few directions — where the voice, the body and the space actually come from. Reading like an actor: given circumstances, objective, stage directions; vocal and physical choices, with distance and height drawn; space and sightlines under Shakespeare's Globe; an exchange from Wilde, out of copyright and verified against the text, and the four things an actor decides in it; one moment built in three moves. Eleven terms to define, a model answer on playing Lady Bracknell, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
