<h1>How to Produce a Shakespeare Play</h1>
|
||||
<p>William Shakespeare’s plays are notoriously complex. Everything from archaic language to unusual play formatting can make producing one of his plays quite scary. Don’t panic! This is written to help guide any brave soul through the MIT transcriptions and William George Clark and William Aldis Wright’s 1887 Victoria Edition.</p>

<p>When it comes to Shakespeare’s plays, there are infinite page scans available, but each edition can differ in stage directions, stage direction formatting, punctuation, spelling, personas, and even dialogue. For SE’s productions, <a href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/004135080"><i>William George Clark and William Aldis Wright’s 1887 Victoria Edition</i></a> is used as the gold standard.</p>

<h4>Right-aligned Verse and Prose Lines</h4>

<h3>Right-aligned Verse and Prose Lines</h3>
|

<ul>

<li>
|
||||
<p>Converting right-aligned to indents is too complicated. Is the size of the indent measured from the left margin of the column to the beginning of the line? Should the indent be the distance between the persona and the beginning of the line? Could these indents be standardized? How do we relate right-aligned words followed by extra spaces to indents? Why are middle verse lines right aligned? Why are the spaces in between words not the same size? What is the standard space size? Why did I choose Shakespeare? All of these factors resulted in using over 15 different levels of indenting (depending on how you measure), lines looking like they are right aligned (looks weird on large screens), and a terrible drinking habit. I don’t see how we can stay faithful to Wright and Clark’s 1887 Edition if every producer is measuring indents a different way.</p>
