Summary
John Barton guides members of the Royal Shakespeare Company in a discussion of Shakespeare's use of blank verse, with illustrated dramatizations. The actors examine how Shakespeare uses antithesis, short lines, end-stopped lines and pauses in the middle of a line, and explore why Shakespeare's lines sometimes mis-scan.
