Written in two parts in an accessible, engaging, conversational style, this book is more than a ‘how-to’ primer on the cue-script method, or how Shakespeare and his actors staged his plays with minimal to no full company rehearsal. In Part 2, it expands upon how the author (professional actor, director and academic researcher) has used and still uses the approach in the course of her work who says, "I hope it will become as clear to the listener and reader, as it did to me, just how authoritative the text of the First Folio (1623) really is and why the cue-script method is an extraordinary resource of still, largely, untapped potential."

For those listeners who may be unfamiliar with cue-scripts, and to bring the text to life, through performance, this edition has been specially rewritten, updated and adapted for audio from the first edition published in print and e-book format in 2017. The word on the page being, of course, vital to the process, the audiobook comes with a free, downloadable pdf and the updated version is also be available in print and as an e-book."

As for the choice of title? Ben Johnson said it: “Thou art alive while thy book doth live.” Thy book being of course The first Folio (1623).

The modest number of personal but ground-breaking insights that it has been possible to include in this slim volume is suggestive of many more to come. To anyone who finds this book useful, may you feel inspired to verify, refine and expand upon this work and, in turn, share your findings with you own audience, readers, students and colleagues.
