Summary

"Get ready... to play your part! As a young male actor in the 16th century, you have a tough job. You have to perform for rowdy crowds at the Globe theater, work for little money, and rehearse for hours each day. Life is far from fun as a Shakespearean actor. It's tragic! Top tips from experts: Put your dress on. Women aren't allowed to act, so you'll have to play some female roles; When the plague strikes, get out of London! Try your luck as a traveling player and take the show on the road; Keep an eye out for cutpurses. These thieves thrive in busy places like the Globe; Study hard! If you mangle Shakespeare's lines, you'll be in trouble." --Cover, p. 4
