Description

Explore the connection between Shakespearean performance and social change in Representing Shakespeare: England, History and the RSC. This text by Robert Shaughnessy examines how the History plays evolved alongside postwar social and political shifts. Since the early 1960s, the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) has maintained a close link between theatrical performance and its audience. This book looks at how that commitment to relevance shaped the way Shakespeare is understood and presented on stage. By analyzing specific productions, the text provides a look at the political dimensions of modern theatre. Readers will find a detailed study of major RSC milestones, including the 1963 "The War of the Roses" and the 1988 "The Plantagenets." This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of history, politics, and the performing arts within the context of British theatrical identity.
