Popular Shakespeare

Simulation and Subversion on the Modern Stage

Beschreibung

In recent years, the 'Popular Shakespeare' phenomenon has become ever more pervasive: in fringe productions, mainstream theatre, or the mass media, Shakespeare is increasingly constructed as an authentic part of popular culture. A vivid account of Shakespeare in performance since the 1990s, this book examines what 'Shakespeare' means to us today.

Autor

Stephen Purcell is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Warwick, UK. He directs for the theatre company The Pantaloons.
