I read a review of a local production of Henry IV, Part 1 which, in its description of the actors playing Hal and Hotspur, states; ... both display a clarity of diction that is immensely satisfying. It seems to me that no critic should ever have to write those words. Any actor playing Shakespeare has the duty to make the words and the intent of the language ring out clear at all times. Clarity of diction is Acting 101, folks. If it becomes so rare that its mentioned in a review then perhaps theaters need to re-think tackling the Bard.
