Description

This study investigates how direct address and talking to the audience construct selfhood for Shakespeare's characters through the relationship between performer and audience. The book examines what happens when dramatic figures acknowledge the audience's presence, exploring theatrical illusion and the pleasures and disturbances of seeing characters produced in the moment of performance. Through analysis of contemporary productions, this Routledge volume offers insights into how stagecraft conventions shape character development and audience engagement in Shakespearean theatre. Essential reading for theatre scholars, performance practitioners, and students of drama seeking to understand the mechanics of direct address and its role in creating theatrical presence and meaning.

Key Features

Focuses on the staging convention of direct address and its effect on character construction in Shakespeare's works.

Examines the relationship between performer and audience to explore how theatrical presence is created during live performance.

Analyses contemporary productions to illustrate how direct address functions in modern Shakespearean staging.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in theatre and performance studies.

Addresses theatrical illusion and the immediate creation of characters in performance contexts.
