Pamela Mason (1)Rezensionen

What a nifty book. Parsons and Mason clearly know their stuff. This is an intelligent but easily accessible look at all of Shakespeare's surviving plays, discussing in a few pages (with big colour photographs) a number of important 20th century English productions. The introduction makes it clear that this is a book by academics but with a guide to presenting the plays easily. Picking particular textual cruxes, major characters and set-pieces, we explore the different ways of performing the roles, and as a result come out far more knowledgeable about the Bard OFF the page, and ON the stage.
