Description
Peter Brook's exploration of Shakespeare's enduring appeal invites us to consider the conditions of the Elizabethan theatre and the qualities of his language. What is the essence of Shakespeare's "genius" or "creativity"? How do we understand the phenomenon of his work? Brook's thought-provoking take on these questions offers a fresh perspective on our greatest playwright.
This expanded edition, first published in 2002, presents a typically illuminating and provocative analysis of performing Shakespeare today. By examining the actual conditions of the Elizabethan theatre, Brook sheds new light on the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's work.
