Shakespeare, Theory and Performance is a groundbreaking collection of essays which brings a full range of contemporary critical perspectives to bear upon the practical questions of performing Shakespeare.
The volume offers a fascinating overview of the productive interplay between cultural materialism, theatre semiotics, feminism, deconstruction, and performance criticism.
Among the issues considerd are:
* textual indeterminancy and the contingencies of performance
* ther implications of gender, race, and class for audience response
* reading the actor's body as a site of cultural inscription
* postcolonial strategies for performing the "hegemonic" Shakespeare
Shakespeare, Theory and Performance constitutes an exciting development within the expanding field of Shakespearean performance studies. It will be of particular interest to students and teachers of theatre, Renaissance literature and literary theory.
