✦ Synopsis

Mr. Harbage, distinguished critic and scholar, advocates a movement to give Shakespeare back to the audiences. In his opinion there is no theatre in the world today that can present Shakespeare with full adequacy. The author's argument is provocative and amusing throughout; it begins with detailed complaints and ends with detailed remedies.
