How Did Actors Learn Their Lines?

Synopsis

A ten-part podcast series, presented by Jennifer Reid, from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, exploring some of the most frequently asked questions about Shakespeare’s life. If you were an actor in the Kings Men, your rehearsal process would have been very different from today. In this episode guests Professor Stanley Wells, Professor Michael Dobson, Dr Elizabeth Dollimore, Dr Anjna Chouhan and actor Ben Crystal discuss cue scripts, rehearsal time and where acting companies got their costumes and sets.
