Description
This book examines the work of renowned theatre director Nicholas Hytner, who led the National Theatre from 2003 to 2015. Through case studies and interviews with those who have worked with him, it explores Hytner's approach to Shakespeare productions within their socio-cultural context.
The book also delves into Hytner's own productions of Shakespeare's plays, as well as his broader directing work and its impact on the National Theatre's repertoire. By examining these aspects of his career, Abigail Rokison-Woodall sheds light on the artistic directorship that shaped the theatre's relationship with Shakespeare.
