Shakespeare and the Power of Performance - Stage and Page in the Elizabethan Theatre - Douglas Bruster - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press -

Description

Bridging the gap between today's page- and stage-centred interpretations of Shakespeare's works, Weimann and Bruster explore how the playwright responded to the competing claims of acting and writing in the Elizabethan era. Focusing on the trio of clown, fool, and cross-dressed boy actor, they demonstrate how Shakespeare explored issues of performance.
