Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a spirited and engaging defence of presenting Shakespeare on stage with all the resources available to contemporary theatre. The author argues against those who view Shakespeare as a relic of the past, demanding a stark and minimalistic approach to his plays. He eloquently contends that this approach diminishes the power and relevance of Shakespeare's work, arguing that his genius lies in its enduring ability to speak to audiences across time. Drawing on his own experience as a theatre manager, the author examines the public's preference for lavish and historically accurate productions, highlighting the successful run of Shakespearean plays that embrace spectacle and grandeur. He then directly addresses the criticism that this approach compromises the purity of Shakespeare's vision, arguing that it is ultimately more effective in conveying the playwright's message to a contemporary audience. The author explores the broader themes of social change, education, and the role of art in society, weaving in insightful observations on the changing nature of theatre and the responsibilities of artists. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling perspective on the enduring legacy of Shakespeare and the importance of engaging with his work on its own terms.
