Reviews

'This is an ambitious and innovative book, which breaks genuinely new ground in Shakespeare performance studies, and which will make a significant contribution to the field ... There are plenty of Shakespeareans who work practically, and many who work in conversation with professional practitioners, but relatively few who subject this experience to the kind of searching interrogation that is found here ... This is a terrifically enjoyable and provocative read, one that suggests new avenues of enquiry and new ways of navigating them.' Robert Shaughnessy, University of Kent
