Paranthese(s)?
In our first rehearsal of Romeo and Juliet, the question arose as to what Shakespeare used parantheses for. Do they indicate intention without voice? Or an aside? Or what?
Honestly, I would just say the line until it felt right, but Kathleen has asked, so I told her I'd check with the Shakespearean scholars that I know.
Thanks! -Em
P.S. Shakespearean scholars? That's you guys.

Make sure you're using the Folio, which uses parentheses a lot more often than modern editions usually print.
I've often read that parentheses indicate that the phrase is delivered to the audience. I tend to agree, since I think you have nothing to lose by connecting with the audience more.
