I will provide a digital copy of the script. I studied Early British Drama for 3 semesters in college as part of the focus of my major in Visual and Performing Arts and am a Shakespeare scholar, so my expertise is part of the source materials. I will also be accessing materials provided by Folger Shakespeare Library.
