Описание: Shakespeare’s women rarely reach the end of the play alive. Whether by murder or by suicide, onstage or off, female actors in Shakespeare’s works often find themselves ‘playing dead.’ But what does it mean to ‘play dead’, particularly for women actors, whose bodies become scrutinized and anatomized by audiences and fellow actors who ‘grossly gape on’? In what ways does playing Shakespeare’s women when they are dead emblematize the difficulties of playing them while they are still alive? Ultimately, what is at stake for the female actor who embodies Shakespeare’s women today, dead or alive? Situated at the intersection of the creative and the critical, Performing Shakespeare’s Women: Playing Dead engages performance history, current scholarship and the practical problems facing the female actor of Shakespeare’s plays when it comes to ‘playing dead’ on the contemporary stage and in a post-feminist world. This book explores the consequences of corpsing Shakespeare’s women, considering important ethical questions that matter to practitioners, students and critics of Shakespeare today.
In Shakespeare's Medieval Craft, Kurt A. Schreyer explores the relationship between Shakespeare’s plays and a tradition of late medieval English biblical drama known as mystery plays. Scholars of English theater have long debated Shakespeare’s connection to the mystery play tradition, but Schreyer provides new perspective on the subject by focusing on the Chester Banns, a sixteenth-century proclamation announcing the annual performance of that city’s cycle of mystery plays. Through close study of the Banns, Schreyer demonstrates the central importance of medieval stage objects—as vital and direct agents and not merely as precursors—to the Shakespearean stage.As Schreyer shows, the Chester Banns serve as a paradigm for how Shakespeare’s theater might have reflected on and incorporated the mystery play tradition, yet distinguished itself from it. For instance, he demonstrates that certain material features of Shakespeare’s stage—including the ass’s head of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the theatrical space of Purgatory in Hamlet, and the knocking at the gate in the Porter scene of Macbeth—were in fact remnants of the earlier mysteries transformed to meet the exigencies of the commercial London playhouses. Schreyer argues that the ongoing agency of supposedly superseded theatrical objects and practices reveal how the mystery plays shaped dramatic production long after their demise. At the same time, these medieval traditions help to reposition Shakespeare as more than a writer of plays; he was a play-wright, a dramatic artisan who forged new theatrical works by fitting poetry to the material remnants of an older dramatic tradition.

Описание:
In Shakespeare in Three Dimensions, Robert Blacker asks us to set aside what we think we know about Shakespeare and rediscover his plays on the page, and as Shakespeare intended, in the rehearsal room and in performance. That process includes stripping away false traditions that have obscured his observations about people and social institutions that are still vital to our lives today. This book explores the verities of power and love in Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth, as an example of how to mine the extraordinary detail in all of Shakespeare's plays, using the knowledge of both theatre practitioners and scholars to excavate and restore them.
Описание: Performing the work of William Shakespeare can be daunting to new actors. Driven by language, the themes and plots are out of the ordinary - the very definition of outrageous.
