Notes from the Back Row: A Voice and Text Director's Journal

In his latest book, Shakespeare expert Scott Kaiser offers a rare glimpse at the inner workings of America’s premier classical repertory theatre—the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. A chronicle of his daily collaborations with actors, directors, and playwrights as a voice and text specialist, Kaiser’s journal offers an insider’s view of the highs and lows of creating world-class theatre during the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s 1996 season—a year filled with profound artistic challenges and institutional growing pains.
