ABOUT THE RENAISSANCE ACTING EDITIONS

Each play package in the Renaissance Acting Editions consists of a set of Cue-

Scripts and an unabridged Prompt-Script in modern font edited and prepared from

William Shakespeare's First Folio of 1623. A "platt" (a.k.a. a "plot," a running list ofentrances, exits, and major stage business) and instructions for assembling a cue-script

roll are also included.

Shakespeare's actors did not receive a copy of the entire script but instead worked

from "cue-scripts" or "part scripts" which contained only the lines and cues for a single

character. Elizabethan players would roll these up on wooden dowels forming a scrollwhich could be "rolled" along as the play progressed - hence the modern word "role"

meaning an actor's individual part in a play. The Renaissance Acting Editions provide

these individual "roles" for those who wish to stage productions using "OriginalPractices" or who simply wish to experiment with the early modern acting process.

The Renaissance Acting Editions are not direct transcriptions of the First Foliotexts. Original spelling, punctuation, and verse lineation have been retained throughout,

but minimal revision has been done (e.g., correction of missing entrances and exits,

restoration of simultaneous dialogue, etc.) to make the scripts more user-friendly.
