Description
Shakespeare for Snowflakes On Slapstick and Sympathy by Ian Burrows explores how playwrights like Shakespeare, Sarah Kane, Sophocles, Samuel Beckett, and others used the actor's body to evoke laughter or sympathy. This book examines these strategies beyond the stage-space, considering their relevance in educational settings, media, and social contexts. Burrows investigates how these techniques can be applied to understand contemporary issues such as 'snowflake culture'. By drawing on a range of dramatic works, he sheds light on the ways in which the body is used to convey meaning and create emotional responses.
