Shakespeare / Play: Contemporary Readings in Playing, Playmaking and Performance: Arden Shakespeare Intersections

Editat de Emma Whipday Dr. Farah Karim Cooper, Professor Gordon McMullan, Lucy Munro, Professor Sonia Massai
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 aug 2024
Shakespeare / Play asks: what is (a) play? How do Shakespeare's plays engage with, and represent, early modern modes of play - from jests, games, and toys, to music, spectacle, movement, animal-baiting and dance? How have we played with Shakespeare in the centuries since? And how does the structure of the plays experienced in the early modern playhouse shape our understanding of the form of a Shakespeare play today? Shakespeare / Play brings together established and emerging scholars to respond to these questions, using approaches spanning theatre and dance history, cultural history, critical race studies, performance studies, disability studies, archaeology, material history, music, and literary analysis. Ranging across Shakespeare's dramatic oeuvre as well as early modern lost plays, dance notation, conduct books, jest books, and contemporary theatre and film, it includes consideration of Measure for Measure, Much Ado About Nothing, Titus Andronicus, The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear and The Merry Wives of Windsor, among others. The subject of this volume is reflected in its structure: Shakespeare / Play features substantial new essays across five 'acts', interwoven with seven shorter, playful pieces (a 'prologue', four 'act breaks', a 'jig' and a curtain call), to offer new directions for research on Shakespearean playing, playmaking, and performance. In so doing, this volume interrogates the conceptions of playing of/in Shakespeare that shape how we perform, read, teach, and analyse Shakespeare today.
