A book on the experience of reading Shakespeare's 'dark plays' which 'often begin with lives falling apart: an event - shipwreck, exile, doubt, or unexpected love - derails what had seemed secure. Those who participate in the plays, as players, audience members, or readers, are invited to see in those events the vulnerability of their own lives.
