STAGED: Timeless tropes, enduring stories - a new Puffin Classics collection
The Signet Classics edition of William Shakespeare's comedic play about two enduring human illusions—the dream of a simple life and the ideal of romantic love.Â

• An overview of Shakespeare's life, world, and theater
• A special introduction to the play by the editor, Albert Gilman

• Dramatic criticism from Arthur Colby Sprague, Helen Gardener, and others
• A comprehensive stage and screen history of notable actors, directors, and productions
• Text, notes, and commentaries printed in the clearest, most readable text
• And more...
