| Summary, etc | How do performances of Shakespeare change the meanings of the plays?<br/>In this controversial new book, Sarah Werner argues that the text of a Shakespeare play is only one of the many factors that give a performance its meaning. By focusing on The Royal Shakespeare Company, Werner demonstrates how actor training, company management and gender politics fundamentally affect both how a production is created and the interpretations it can suggest.<br/>Werner concentrates particularly on:<br/>The influential training methods of Cicely Berry and Patsy Rodenburg<br/>The history of the RSC Women's Group<br/>Gale Edwards' production of The Taming of the Shrew<br/>She reveals that no performance of Shakespeare is able to bring the plays to life or to realise the playwright's intentions without shaping them to mirror our own assumptions.<br/>By examining the ideological implications of performance practices, this book will help all interested in Shakespeare's plays to explore what it means to study them in performance. |
