ABOUT THE RENAISSANCE ACTING EDITIONS Shakespeare's actors did not receive a copy of the entire script but instead worked from "cue-scripts" or "part scripts" which contained only the lines and cues for a single character. The Renaissance Acting Editions provide cue-scripts for those who wish to experiment with the early modern acting process. Each play in the series consists of a set of cue-scripts and an unabridged promptscript in modern font edited and prepared from William Shakespeare's First Folio of 1623. A "platt" (a.k.a. a "plot," a running list of entrances, exits, and major stage business) and instructions for assembling a cue-script roll are also included. These editions are not direct transcriptions of the First Folio texts. Original spelling, punctuation, and verse lineation have been retained throughout, but minimal revision has been done (e.g., correction of missing entrances and exits, restoration of simultaneous dialogue, etc.) to make the scripts more user-friendly. DEMITRA PAPADINIS, the creator of the Renaissance Acting Editions, is a theatrical producer, director, and the founder of New England Shakespeare, a company which since 1994 has staged Shakespeare's works using "Original Practices." A life-long student of the early modern playhouse, she is an ardent First Folio enthusiast and an expert in "Unrehearsed Cue-Script Technique," a performance method that seeks to replicate the creative working process of Shakespeare's own company. She is also the editor and annotator of the "Frankly Annotated First Folio" series published by McFarland & Company. She lives in New Hampshire and New York City.
