This volume offers an accessible and thought-provoking guide to
this major Shakespearean comedy, surveying its key themes and
evolving critical preoccupations. It also provides a detailed and
up-to-date history of the play's rich stage and screen performance,
looking closely at major contemporary performances, including Josie
Rourke's film starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate, Vanessa
Redgrave and James Earl Jones at the Old Vic, and the RSC's recent
rebranding of it as a sequel. Moving through to four new critical
essays, the guide opens up fresh perspectives, including
contemporary directors' deployment of older actors within the lead
roles, the play's relationship to Love's Labour's Lost, its
presence on Youtube and the ways in which tales and ruses in the
play belong to a wider concern with varieties of crime. The volume
finishes with a guide to critical, web-based and production-related
resources and an annotated bibliography provide a basis for further
research.
