Description
This comprehensive study examines Shakespearean ballets and their unique interpretive possibilities, placing music at the centre of understanding how dance-works convey Shakespeare's meanings. Organised around adaptations of key plays, the book offers close analysis of contrasting choreographic interpretations and styles whilst illuminating critical issues of gender, sexuality, race and politics. Each chapter explores how different choreographers have transformed Shakespeare's dramatic texts into movement, revealing the depth and complexity these adaptations bring to understanding the plays themselves. Published by Bloomsbury as part of the Shakespeare and Adaptation series, this work bridges literary criticism and dance studies, making it essential reading for students of Shakespeare, dance, and cultural adaptation.

Key Features

The Arden Shakespeare edition focuses on music's central role in shaping the aesthetics and meanings of Shakespeare ballet adaptations.

Each chapter provides detailed analysis of multiple choreographers' interpretations of the same Shakespearean plays, revealing diverse artistic approaches.

This book examines how gender, sexuality, race and politics are portrayed and negotiated through dance-based Shakespeare performances.

Organised systematically around key Shakespeare plays, making it easy to study specific works and their ballet interpretations together.

Part of the Bloomsbury Shakespeare and Adaptation series, connecting classical drama to contemporary performance practices and critical theory.
