Books Not a play I'm that familiar because it's also not a play I particularly like so I skimmed the lit crit section and went straight for the production history and textual examination both of which were as fascinating as these things tend to be. Was the play produced in Shakespeare's lifetime or meant to simply exist as a reader's addition? The length of the speeches and the more ponderous approach to scene structure would suggest so. But why so many difference between the Quarto and Folio with the addition stage directions and revisions of language? Did it in fact receive an appearance at the Inns of Court? Onward to Julius Caesar.
