'Throughout the book [Lopez's] selection of and attention to detail is interesting and thought-provoking. ...The book is well worth the attention of anyone studying or teaching the play.' - John Haddon, The Use of English '...short, curious and interesting...' - The Use of English 'Lopez is a sensitive and astute reader of texts as scripts for performance, frequently inviting us to think about symmetries in stage pictures and to attend to the resonance of silent characters. The deft nature with which he unpacks the rhetorical and poetic effects of this play is equally impressive.' - Julie Sanders, The Year's Contribution to Shakespeare Studies
