Unpublished typescript by Edward Mark Slocum. Includes analysis of several of Shakespeare's plays and excerpts with homoerotic undertones or comments on gender identity (often with Slocum's indications of actors who would have played certain roles and commentary of tone in which he believes lines should be delivered).
