Description

Studio Shakespeare provides a comprehensive history of The Royal Shakespeare Company's studio theatre and traces the remarkable career of its founder and first artistic director, Mary Ann 'Buzz' Goodbody (1947-75). Author Alycia Smith-Howard examines how Goodbody, as a socialist, feminist, and the RSC's first female director, transformed classical theatre and reshaped the Company's approach to producing Shakespeare's works. The Other Place, which opened in 1973, stands as Goodbody's greatest achievement and revolutionised how audiences experienced Shakespeare in an intimate studio setting. This Routledge publication offers theatre historians, performing arts students, and Shakespeare enthusiasts essential insights into a pivotal moment in British theatre history and the pioneering vision that defined modern RSC practice.
