As a follow up to my last post, here is the single most famous stage direction from all of Shakespeare, and perhaps from all theater. From “The Winter’s Tale”, Act III, Scene iii: [Exit, pursued by a Bear.] From my 1786 copy which, clearly, is still available. #exitpursuedbyabear #stagedirection #shakespeare #winterstale #rarebooks #antiquarianbooks #treatyourshelf #booknerd https://www.instagram.com/p/CHI58otBdZx/?igshid=e52heo5758xz
