Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Orson Welles' theatrical productions of Shakespeare for the W.P.A.'s Federal Theatre Project and Welles' own Mercury Theatre represent unique blending of high art and the politicized popular culture of the 1930s. This volume is the only publication available of the fully annotated playscripts of these adaptions, including the 'Voodoo' Macbeth , the modern-dress Julius Caesar , and Welles compilation of history plays, Five Kings . Richard France's general introduction provides invaluable background information that relates the three plays and their productions to the social, historical, political and economic climate from which they emerged. He further introduces each script with all of the relevant information on the production, interview material from those on the scene, and Welles' own directorial marginalia. Contains the fully annotated playscripts of Welles' celebrated Shakespeare adaptations of Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and "Five Kings" for the WPA Federal Theatre Project and his own Mercury Theatre. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780415937269
