Summary

In this controversial new book, Sarah Werner argues that the text of a Shakespeare play is only one of the many factors that give a performance its meaning. Focusing on The Royal Shakespeare Company, Werner demonstrates how actor training, company management, and gender politics fundamentally affect both how a production is created and the interpretations it can suggest. She reveals that no performance of Shakespeare is able to bring the plays to life or to realize the playwright's intentions without shaping them to mirror its own assumptions.

Author Biography

Sarah Werner has taught in the English and Theatre departments at Penn, McGill, George Washington and George Mason Universities.
