John Newman has just published a new article in the 2014 issue of Teaching Theatre, “Perchance You Wonder at this Show: Shakespeare’s Advice to the Playwrights.” It presents the idea that just as the Bard gave his advice to the actors in Hamlet, he gave his advice to the playwrights, and teachers of playwriting, between the lines of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Here’s a link to the complete article on EdTA’s website, http://www.schooltheatre. org: http://www.editiondigital.net/publication/?i=230728&p=30

I love this. Very clever, smartly written, and actually quite helpful, both in looking at play writing, which my students are forced to do, and at “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which my students will be seeing in a few weeks, by chance. Good to see that Shakespeare has my back on this one. Good work, John!
