Shakespeare : actors and audiences

See all formats and editions

Shakespeare: Actors and Audiences brings together the voices of those who make productions of Shakespeare come to life.

It shines a spotlight on the relationship between actors and audiences and explores the interplay that makes each performance unique.

We know much about theatre in Shakespeare's time but very little about the audiences who attended his plays.

Even today the audience's voice remains largely ignored.

This volume places the role of the audience at the centre of how we understand Shakespeare in performance.

Part One offers an overview of the best current audience research and provides a critical framework for the interviews and testimony of leading actors, theatre makers and audience members that follow in Part Two, including Juliet Stevenson and Emma Rice.

Shakespeare: Actors and Audiences offers a fascinating insight into the world of theatre production and of the relationship between actor and audience that lies at the heart of theatre-making.
