Description

Stanley Wells explores the lives and careers of great Shakespeare actors from Elizabethan times to our own. He examines what it takes to be a great Shakespeare actor, and offers concise sketches of each actor's career in Shakespeare, assessing their talents and claims to greatness. The book brings together the stories of both English and American performers who have given outstanding stage performances in Shakespeare's plays. Wells draws on contemporary reviews, biographies, anecdotes, and his own personal memories of notable performances to create a succinct, actor-centred history of Shakespearian theatrical performance. By focusing on the actors themselves, rather than their works, Wells offers a unique perspective on the art of Shakespearean acting.
