Beschreibungen/Notizen

• First doe I breake your Office o're your pate (sig. 5R2r; 2.2.104-5) Clara is holding two or more objects ("these") that she tries to leave aside before attacking Bobadilla. Since Lamoral referred to Clara's petronel in 1.1, it seems safe to use that precise term in the SD. In the production that Graham Watts directed in December 2013 at the Oval House Theatre in London, he opted for an alternative solution to this particular crux. Since the problem emerges from Clara's inability to recognize the person she aims her pistol at, it could simply be that her vision is temporarily impaired. [...]this kind of study of the practicalities of the staging of a play is not the solution to every problem an editor has to face when investigating the dramaturgy of an infrequently performed text.
