Description
This Routledge Library edition brings together insights from twelve leading contemporary directors who address the fundamental questions facing anyone staging Shakespeare today. Through in-depth interviews, these experienced practitioners explore which plays resonate with modern audiences, whether textual and setting modifications serve the work, and what Shakespeare's plays mean to them and their viewers. Originally published in 1977, this book remains an invaluable resource for producers and directors planning productions who seek practical wisdom from those with proven track records of bringing Shakespeare to the stage. The collection captures how contemporary directors navigate the challenge of making Shakespeare relevant whilst preserving the integrity of his work, offering guidance grounded in real theatrical experience rather than theory alone.
