"Shticky Shakespeare: Exploring Action as Eloquence" https://www.worldshakesbib.org/entry/bbbc2009/ Author: Ray, Sid. Type: Book Chapter Year: 2013 Publication Information: Moncrief, Shakespeare Expressed: Page, Stage, and Classroom in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries, 123–33. : Moncrief, Shakespeare Expressed: Page, Stage, and Classroom in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries Annotation: Uses examples from performances of Measure for Measure, Macbeth, Richard III, Winter's Tale and As You Like It to examine the "efficacy of Shakespearean 'stage business'" and when it becomes "shtick." Concludes "that a little bit of stage business can intensify the meaning of the text and the affect of the moment" while going too far can ruin the effect.
