How did actors in Shakespeare's time rehearse a play? In this unit, students will explore rehearsal in the Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre from part playing, cueing and exploring the relationship between voice and gesture, through to the general rehearsal. Students will have the opportunity to workshop selected scenes from plays by Shakespeare or his contemporaries in order to understand how a Renaissance English actor embodied their part.
