| Summary |
"In Shakespearean Dramaturgy, Robert Blacker asks us to forget what we think we know about Shakespeare; his work should be rediscovered on our feet, in the rehearsal room and in performance. Staging Shakespeare today is a process of stripping away 400 years of obfuscation between us and the social and personal observations that lie at the core of his plays. While customs and theatre have changed in that time, people themselves haven't. This book explores the universal themes of power and love in Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth, mining both the texts and a lifetime of productions to share the invaluable discoveries that these experiences throw up."--Provided by publisher |
