While much attention has been devoted to performances of
Shakespeare's plays today, little has been focused on modern
productions of the plays of his contemporaries, such as Marlowe,
Webster and Jonson. Performing Early Modern Drama Today offers an
overview of early modern performance, featuring chapters by
academics, teachers and practitioners, incorporating a variety of
approaches. The book examines modern performances in both Britain
and America and includes interviews with influential directors,
close analysis of particular stage and screen adaptations and
detailed appendices of professional and amateur productions.
Chapters examine intellectual and practical opportunities to
analyse what is at stake when the plays of Shakespeare's
contemporaries are performed by ours. Whether experimenting with
original performance practices or contemporary theatrical and
cinematic ones, productions of early modern drama offer an
inspiring, sometimes unusual, always interesting perspective on the
plays they interpret for modern audiences.
