What is blank verse? Why is it better for drama than other verse forms? How should it be read? In the course of trying out different stresses, the actors discover how Shakespeare uses antithesis, short lines, end-stopped lines, and pauses in the middle of a line. Shakespearean examples from Henry V, The Winter's Tale, The Merchant of Venice, King John, Cymbeline, Antony and Cleopatra, Troilus and Cressida, Richard III, and Sonnet 29.
