Title Page

This working script for Acting Shakespeare contains cues for lighting and stage directions. For instance, the page above includes announcements leading up to show time, reminders to make sure a bottle of water is on stage, and instructions to warn the lighting technicians (one of them who operates a "follow spot" light) as Ian is about to begin the show. "When Clearance from Mig" refers to the stage manager for the non-US tours, Mig Kimpton.
