Alan Dessen reconstructs the stage in the Elizabethan era. He believes from stage properties, movements and configurations implicit in recurrent phrases and stage directions, a kind of theatrical shorthand was developed by actors from the playwright. He draws attention to the implications of his findings for modern interpreters, critics, teachers, editors, actors and directors.
