Introduction: How did this argument begin? -- The heavy hand of the editors: "Oh pardon me ... that I am meek and gentle with these butchers" -- The shaman at work: "words, words, words" -- Bungling printers: "you strike like the blind man" -- Creating a role from the folio text: "know you the character?" -- Shakespeare's rogues and vagabonds: "unperfect actors"? -- Character as actor: "I can counterfeit the deep tragedian" -- Ambiguity: "faire is foule, and foule is faire" -- A director's approach: "the rich advantage of good exercise" -- Weighing up the options: "Measure for measure".
