Includes abstract.|Includes bibliographical references (leaves 31-34). / My story, like many of this age, seems attracted to the writing of Shakespeare and so his plays and the philosophies and insights embedded in them have come to have a large impact on me as I study his roles and perform them. I have learned that his sonnets are, equally, repositories of wisdom able to convey much more than argument or aptitude in language and meter – they carry experiential information of a human condition. I propose that it is the actor's task to convey that information, more accurately to recreate the experience with the audience, in ensemble. It is my feeling that Shakespeare understands this actor's task and continuously invokes it in his writing, bringing much of the wisdom of the human experience to the acting experience.
