Each entry is short and pithy, giving exactly what you need, to situate a character in your memory. And just enough to "get it" if you've never read the play. Most entries are a sentence or two.
Major characters get much larger entries, still fairly brief. They include a couple of quotes and a lengthier description of their role in the play/theme. These can be a page, or less.
Begins with an introduction written during the rebuilding of The Globe, in the 1990s, and referencing it with pictures, while also discussing (and including some pictures of contemporary works/drawings/texts) the contemporary aspects of theatre and such.
