- A rich selection of critical and theatrical responses to the play over the centuries
- Text derived from the earliest printings, often preserving puns and wordplay otherwise lost
- Foreword by an actor or theatre director describing the play in the performance
- Up-to-date commentary on the structure, atmosphere and content of the play and on its sources and influences
