""A Book for Shakespeare Plays and Pageants"" by Orie Latham Hatcher is a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in staging Shakespearean plays or pageants. The book includes detailed instructions on how to produce and direct Shakespearean plays, as well as tips on costumes, makeup, and set design. It also includes a selection of scenes and monologues from Shakespeare's plays, along with suggestions for how to incorporate them into pageants or other performances. Hatcher's book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to bring the works of Shakespeare to life on stage.1916. A treasury of Elizabethan and Shakespearean detail for producers, stage managers, actors, artists and students. Illustrated with nearly 200 pictures and portraits, mostly from contemporary sources. Hatcher, founder of Bryn Mawr's Department of Comparative Literature and advocate for educational and vocational opportunities for women, writes that Part I of this volume, provides the foundations on which the understanding of the latter half of the book should rest-the account of Shakespeare�������s England, of his life so far as we know it, and of the more important facts about his works. Part II proposes plans for Shakespeare festivities, fitting most of them into plans for one large pageant, but making any feature detachable for representation without the others, and allowing for the general plan to be diminished to such proportions as are practicable for a given group. This second section also describes settings, outdoors and in, plans for laying out grounds, simple Elizabethan structures, costumes, etc. It reproduces the musical notation and words for Shakespearean and other Elizabethan songs, gives music and direction for Elizabethan dances, games of various sorts and other forms of amusement; illustrates at every point where this is practicable; and at the end adds a bibliography for fuller information on the subjects involved.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
