A group of travelling players          have arrived at Elsinore. Our inspired title character exhorts his          guests to reprise one of their past performances: an epic depiction of          the fall of Troy. One player steps up with relish, and performs the          evocative scene with details, images, and free-flowing descriptors.          Sixty lines into the speech, Hamlet remains enthralled. Not everyone          shares his enthusiasm: Polonius, the pedantic politician, has become          impatient.        /p>        p>This is too long./p>        p>          The nerve! Hamlet is exasperated. Too long? What are they supposed to          do? Cut it?        /p>        p>          Not necessarily. But believe it or not, yes, a cut might be the best          solution of all. To many directors, dramaturgs, and actors, cutting          plays is an integral step in the process of theatre. Cuts might happen          in deep pre-production, or at a table read, or in rehearsal, or even,          quite rarely, in performance. Cuts happen to control the play’s          length, to address modesty issues or cultural differences, or to fit a          directorial concept. Cuts are common. Standard, even.        /p>        p>          To an outsider, cuts may seem audacious, hubristic, or even          sacrilegious. You want to cut a play a playwright has authorized as          complete? Who do you think you are? Such dismay has historical          precedent. The famously opinionated George Bernard Shaw believed if          you can’t perform Shakespeare uncut, then you shouldn’t perform it at          all. The plays, Shaw suggested, were that length and had that content          for a purpose. To change the content was to remove some of the play’s          spirit: in his inimitable style, Shaw suggested adapters “let          Shakespear alone if you dont believe in him” (sic). Without a doubt,          Shaw would be horrified to know how often his own works are cut to          size today.        /p>        p>          To the purists, cuts may seem like unnecessary brutality inflicted on          a beloved text, perpetrated out of fear of a classical play’s inherent          intricacy. In fact, cutting is not only common, but also necessary.          Polonius’s instinctive, This is too long, does not necessarily          betray a lack of sophistication, but perhaps an audience’s very real          awareness they are no longer engaged. A company may faithfully retain          every line in an original practices staging of Aeschylus’s The          Persians (472 BCE), yet might potentially undermine their narrative if          the audience’s attention wanders. Another company may insist their          production of Aphra Behn’s The Rover (1677) is letter-perfect, and          have the time and audience to embrace it. When these rare          opportunities for uncut performance arrive, they can be instructive          and fulfilling, albeit quite long.        /p>        p>          So: the question is, what do you cut? And how? And what happens to the          rest of the play? Is it the same play? What about the purists? Is this          sacreligious?        /p>      /div>    /div>    footer>      em>Cutting Plays for Performance: A Practical and Accessible Guide/em> is      available from Routledge Press.      a        hrefhttps://www.tkqlhce.com/click-100524570-14076226?urlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.routledge.com%2FCutting-Plays-for-Performance-A-Practical-and-Accessible-Guide%2FMalone-Huber%2Fp%2Fbook%2F9780367748883        >Order now/a      >!            br />a href./privacy-policy>Site Privacy Policy/a>    /footer>    !-- Bootstrap core JS-->    script srchttps://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js>/script>    !-- Core theme JS-->    script srcjs/scripts.js>/script>  /body>/html>
