Shakespeare wrote more than fifty parts for children, amounting to
the first comprehensive portrait of childhood in the English
theatre. Focusing mostly on boys, he put sons against fathers,
servants against masters, innocence against experience, testing the
notion of masculinity, manners, morals, and the limits of
patriarchal power. He explored the nature of relationships and
ideas about parenting in terms of nature and nurture,
permissiveness and discipline, innocence and evil. He wrote about
education, adolescent rebellion, delinquency, fostering, and
child-killing, as well as the idea of the redemptive child who
'cures' diseased adult imaginations. 'Childness' - the essential
nature of being a child - remains a vital critical issue for us
today. In Shakespeare and Child's-Play Carol Rutter shows how
recent performances on stage and film have used the range of
Shakespeare's insights in order to re-examine and re-think these
issues in terms of today's society and culture.
