The student handouts contain an abundance of material on the characters and detailed performance interpretations. These will help students who are specialising in either acting or direction to create a detailed interpretation of the roles and performance realisations of specific extracts of the play.

The detailed teaching ideas cover the social, historical and cultural context of the play, acting styles at the time and original performance conditions.

The folder covers, in detail, the play's main themes, messages and issues that directors or actors must be aware of when forming their own performance realisation of a role or an extract.
