'Walter Hodges has a unique blend of talents, seen at their best in this book. His long experience as a historian of the Globe and his rare devotion to the questions of visualising stage action in Shakespeare's plays have made a distinctive contribution to the New Cambridge series of editions of the plays. The book develops and extends the ideas suggested in his designs for those editions. They enhance many intriguing details about the early staging, while providing a distinctive overview of how the early stages worked.' Andrew Gurr
