Quote: When Shakespeare finished a play it was not distributed to the actors in books. Instead, each player received his own ‘role’, which was a long sheet of parchment with his lines written on. This meant that he would not see who else was going to be on the stage until they actually rehearsed the scene. How strange we would find this today when, reading a play for the first time, we were unable to flick through the pages of a scene to see who entered when, and what happened next.
