What That Permits You to Skip

Captions available

The idea

Memorising plots, dates and character lists earns nothing. The preparation that pays is the syntax procedure, the shifted senses, and the theatrical conventions. That is a much smaller body of work than reading the complete plays, and it is the work this course has done.

In practice

Skip the plots; keep the procedures.

Where people slip

A smaller body of work than it seems.
