Sinossi
Why does Shakespeare write in the way he does? And how can actors and directors get the most out of his incomparable plays?
In Speaking the Speech, Giles Block – ‘Master of the Words&; at Shakespeare&;s Globe – sets out to answer these two simple questions. The result is the most authoritative, most comprehensive book yet written on speaking Shakespeare&;s words.
Throughout the book, the author subjects Shakespeare&;s language to rigorous examination, illuminating his extraordinary ability to bring his characters to life by a simple turn of phrase, a breath or even a pause. Block shows how we can only fully understand these characters, and the meaning of the plays, by speaking the words out loud.
Drawing on characters from across all of Shakespeare&;s plays – and looking in detail at Macbeth, The Winter&;s Tale, Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice and Much Ado About Nothing – Block covers everything the actor needs to know, including: the essential distinctions between prose, rhymed verse and unrhymed verse, and the different strategies to be used when speaking them; the difference between ‘you&; and ‘thou&;; Shakespeare&;s use of silence; and the vital importance of paying attention to Shakespeare&;s ‘original&; punctuation.
Speaking the Speech is a book for actors and directors who want to improve their understanding of Shakespeare&;s language in order to speak it better. It is also a fascinating read for anyone who wants to deepen their appreciation of Shakespeare&;s language and the way it comes to life when spoken aloud.

"We call Giles our ‘Text Guru&; at the Globe, partly in jest, and partly out of respect for the depth of his knowledge, the gentleness of his teaching, and the sudden illuminations he can throw across a play. If this book can afford even a small part of the pleasure and insight Giles can provide in person, then it will be a great asset." Dominic Dromgoole, Artistic Director, Shakespeare&;s Globe
"Giles deepened my love for Shakespeare and for the way we all speak. I trust you will have a similar experience reading his book." Mark Rylance, from his Foreword
