More about the book
Focusing on the staging of Shakespeare's plays, the book delves into what original audiences experienced, how we interpret that today, and the implications of these insights. It analyzes stage directions from around 600 plays performed before 1642, highlighting often-overlooked onstage effects and imagery. By examining terminology and theatrical vocabulary shared among Shakespeare and his contemporaries, the author challenges conventional interpretations and assumptions surrounding the reading, editing, and staging of these classic works.
