Recenzii

Wyver (Univ. of Westminster, UK) provides an insider's look at how the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) has navigated the often-turbulent world of broadcasting productions of Shakespeare. He provides a historical account of the recording and broadcasting of productions by the RSC that covers ten decades . Though one can find myriad resources on the adaptation of Shakespeare to film, Wyver focuses specifically on how the RSC adapts live Shakespearean productions for television and film; he keeps in mind both the integrity of the stage and an audience's expectation of more than a static, single camera recording. Thus the volume is an important contribution to adaptation studies. Summing Up: Recommended
One of the most significant achievements of this book is Wyver's scrupulously thorough investigation ... [A] meticulously researched, amply documented and wonderfully wide-ranging study.
Remarkable ... A narrative that dramatically (the pun is deliberate) transforms our knowledge and understanding of the filming of theatre and of the particularly complex and varied negotiations between theatre productions on the one hand and the film and television media on the other...It will take us all a long time to catch up with the riches of what Wyver has accomplished here but we will find the journey exhilarating and profoundly rewarding.
The RSC's relationship with screen media is a topic that has long needed its history written, and Wyver is the ideal writer for the task. Lucidly marshalling a wealth of research, including exciting new discoveries, this book comprehensively chronicles the company's complex interactions with broadcasters and filmmakers from the 1950s to the present day. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in Shakespeare on stage and on screen.
A careful, richly detailed and painstaking work of history... a huge achievement of patient archival research and practical industry knowledge, which will become a standard reference work for those of us toiling in this area
