ABSTRACT
The title of this note isolates one aspect of a Shakespearean production, in order to focus one of the most teasing and controversial features of dramatic interpretation. No sensitive and attentive reader of the text fails to make his own imaginative ‘production’ of the play as he reads. It will be for him the ideal production, since it will correspond at all points with the temper, plot movement, characterization, sound and imagery of the play, and no actual production in the theatre can hope to give the reader so flexible and comprehensive a setting.
