This unique study investigates the ways in which the staging
convention of direct address - talking to the audience - can
construct selfhood, for Shakespeare's characters. By focusing
specifically on the relationship between performer and audience,
Talking to the Audience examines what happens when the audience are
in the presence of a dramatic figure who knows they are there. It
is a book concerned with theatrical illusion; with the pleasures
and disturbances of seeing 'characters' produced in the moment of
performance.
Through analysis of contemporary productions Talking to the
Audience serves to demonstrate how the study of recent performance
helps us to understand both Shakespeare's cultural moment and our
own. Its exploration of how theory and practice can inform each
other make this essential reading for all those studying
Shakespeare in either a literary or theatrical context.
