Here is a book written primarily for playgoers. Looking closely at
eighteen plays, Anthony Dawson examines key decisions that actors
and directors have to make, and shows how different interpretations
flow from these decisions. His aim is to make audiences more aware
of the multiple possibilities that a Shakespearean text provides,
and hence better able to assess particular productions. Using
frequent and extensive illustration from the modern theatre, he
argues that contradiction and creative inconsistency are marks of
Shakespeare's plays and that productions usually work best when
they embrace opposition and strive for balance, rather than when
they adopt one-sided readings or suppress elements that don't fit a
particular concept.
