About this book

The book focuses on the practical means and media of Shakespeare's stage, and on what that stage offered his achievement in the theatre. It aims to bridge the gap between readings that treat Shakespeare as a matter of the printed page and readings centred on the stage.

The authors argue that Shakespeare had to balance acting against writing, two demands that pulled against each other in Elizabethan drama. They examine how he explored performance in his plays.

The book suits readers of Shakespeare, theatre history and Elizabethan drama. Published by Cambridge University Press. ISBN-13: 9780521895323.
