Shakespeare in the theatre
Richard David, Cambridge University Press (Publisher)
Complemented by photographs of individual productions, Mr David's book comprises studies of major English productions of Shakespeare during the 1970s. Whilst drawing wider conclusions about Shakespeare's art, Mr David focuses on moments in actual performance that have seemed most strikingly to recreate or impair the dramatic effects intended by Shakespeare.
