Description

Explore the complex relationship between Shakespearean characters and their viewers in Talking to the Audience. This study by Routledge examines how the staging convention of direct address works to build selfhood for characters on stage. By focusing on the specific connection between the performer and the spectator, the book looks at what occurs when an audience meets a dramatic figure who acknowledges their presence. This work addresses the nature of theatrical illusion and the specific feelings of pleasure or disturbance that arise when seeing characters created during the live moment of performance. Through an analysis of contemporary productions, the text provides a deep look into how talking to the audience shapes the theatrical experience. It is an essential resource for those interested in how performance constructs identity and how the presence of an audience changes the way drama is perceived.
