After an historical survey of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" from
Shakespeare's time through to the 19th century, Jay Halio focuses
primarily on 20th century productions and adaptations, for film and
television as well as for the stage. Chapters are devoted to
productions by Max Reinhardt, Peter Hall, Robert Lepage, and
especially to Peter Brook's landmark production in 1970 and the
reactions to it. Using a wealth of personal experience, as well as
original promptbooks and critical reviews, Halio shows how
differently but still very effectively the play may be staged, as
the wide variety of plays he records. This second, enlarged edition
contains three new chapters on Adrian Noble's RSC production and
film, Michael Hoffman's film, and the "Dream "in China. Written in
clear, jargon-free language, this is the only book so far in print
that offers an extended study of major 20th-century productions of
the "Dream "in their historical context.
