[Ney's] research is impressive and unique. Times Literary Supplement


[Ney's] research is impressive and unique. Times Literary Supplement Mr. Ney sets a new standard for the study of directing Shakespeare in the USA, deftly interviewing leaders in the field and opening up the remarkable visions, unique processes and historical research that drives the production of the Bard's work in festivals and theatres nationwide... No doubt, Directing Shakespeare will be a welcome text for classrooms worldwide providing students with the best practices of notable directors ... It's also a great read for seasoned professionals seeking a glimpse into the personalities and process of many of America's most successful directors. Quarto
