ABSTRACT
The Elizabethan actors would not go to a book, flicking the pages back and forth; would not work out what was going on from the situation. They would go to their scroll, which had all their lines and cue lines written on paper that was wrapped round a wooden stick. Because it was wound in a roll, it would not be easy to compare Act One with Act Five; the situation could only be guessed
at, and they would have only their own lines to give them guidance as to the character, the play, and the unknown situation.
