Reviews
At the crest of a coming wave of creative engagements with Shakespeare, New Places re-sets the prepositions that situate us to his plays. Less interested in finding the meanings in or around Shakespeare, New Places makes meaning through and with his works, engaging communities outside the academy and rehearsing new perceptual possibilities for the place of art in the twenty-first century. -- Paul Menzer, Professor of Shakespeare and Performance, Mary Baldwin University, USA. Taking its cue from the happy accident of Shakespeare's historic address in Stratford-upon-Avon -a house called 'New Place' - this exuberant collection of essays finds Shakespeare more recently resident in dozens of other 'new places'. 'Civic Shakespeare' is found amongst singers, dancers, masquers, refugees, schoolchildren,in a convent-turned-Sufi Centre, in the Venetian Ghetto and amongst townspeople. -- Carol Chillington Rutter, NTF, Professor of Shakespeare and Performance Studies, Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies, University of Warwick, UK.
Demonstrating how Shakespeare remains relevant in the 21st century, this book is valuable for situating Shakespeare in non-traditional settings. Summing Up: Highly recommended. * CHOICE * At the crest of a coming wave of creative engagements with Shakespeare, New Places re-sets the prepositions that situate us to his plays.
