Notes:

1. Feel free to restore any of my cuts; but if making additional cuts, try not to lose any essential part of the action or argument.

2. Make sure you understand all your own lines; either cut or translate any that you think the audience wont understand; incorporate translations from footnotes into your lines when appropriate; substitute "yous" for "thous" and "thees" if you prefer them. No British accents for the royals and aristocrats. Dialect for lower class or regional characters is appropriate.

3. Get as much feeling and action into your performances as you can; look for the cues for gesture and movement provided by the script. Attend to location of players in relation to one another to the stage space and to the audience.

4. Think about creating predawn lighting effect
