Expert Profile: Arlene Schulman

Expertise: I have loved Shakespeare all my life, and as a Stage Director and Actor for over twenty-five years I have had the opportunity to study his work in intimate detail. I would be happy to share my knowledge of his plays. I can also help with acting Shakespeare, working with blank verse, character development, script analysis and interpretation. I don`t have as much knowledge in the area of his sonnets, but I can help to understand their meaning and language. I also have some knowledge of his life and of the Globe theatre where he performed his plays, as well as the Royal Shakespeare Company and his birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, and can point you in the direction of some wonderful websites on the subjects as well.

What do you like about this subject? Shakespeare's genius was in writing plays 400 years ago that are still totally relevant today. He explored the mind, heart, soul and actions of humanity before psychology was "invented", and the beauty of his verse is surpassed by no one.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I am currently finishing my dissertation for an MA in "Shakespeare and Theatre" at the Shakespeare Institute (U. of Birmingham), Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, exploring in depth the relationship between Shakespeare's text and performance. My goal is to be able to do more extensive directing of Shakespearean productions.

2009-06-29 Rates of Speech of Shax' plays - Contemporary vs. Elizabethan Speech: Hi Carroll, I have, indeed, heard a facsimile of Elizabethan English (although it is just that, since we have no way to know exactly what it sounded like - recordings being not invented at the time)...
