Synopsis
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people buy tickets to see Shakespeare's plays performed. No other playwright commands the kind of interest that Shakespeare does. Shakespeare's plays have something for everyone. In performance, moreover, they are much more accessible than they are when read from heavily annotated texts, for performances somehow provide all the annotation we need, or enough of it; they make the plays live. In a very real sense, Understanding Shakespeare's Plays in Performance allows you the experience of attending a play rehearsal. During rehearsals, various aspects of staging and interpretation are worked out. In the process, one becomes aware of the many aspects of presenting Shakespeare that in performance might never become evident. Being on the inside, as it were, provides a new perspective, an insight into the complexities of production that cannot help but inform our judgment even as it illuminates our understanding.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
