In Cite

Normally one uses act, scene, line, using either roman or arabic numbers for the first two, thus:
(II, iii, 154-165) or (2.2.154-156).
If you are in a class all using the same text, you probably don't have to identify it. Otherwise, or just to be safe, add a "works cited" page listing the edition using standard bibliographical form (You'll find the proper form in any freshman composition grammar book.)
