• First responses to The Actor's (and Intelligent Reader's) Guide to the Language of Shakespeare: "Richard DiPrima brings a lifetime of experience as a theatre practitioner to this work. an impressively scholarly and comprehensive guide to the structures and intricacies of Shakespeare's language. It is a hugely ambitious undertaking and the end result displays a wealth of insight and understanding. This offering will prove an invaluable asset to any serious student of Shakespeare, whether actor or reader." -Dr. David Crilly, Artistic Director of The Cambridge Shakespeare Festival, UK "In my 50 years of performing the classics, I have not seen so comprehensive a guide for the use of Shakespeare's language. . . . Every serious student of Shakespeare should own a copy." -Randall Duk Kim, World-renowned Shakespearean actor, film actor, and co-founder of the American Players Theatre "Astounding . . . I marvel at the years of experience and vast knowledge contained within its pages. Has there ever been an encyclopedia of the technical components of Shakespeare's writing? In this age of abbreviated computer language, abridged texts and speed-driven learning, you are so brave to create such a document. I cannot tell you how many times I have craved a book to pass on to acting students in need of a clear and comprehensive knowledge of Shakespearean usage. So, thank you." -Anne Occhiogrosso, Shakespearean actress, director, acting coach and teacher, and co-founder of the American Players Theater
