These studies take stage history as a means of knowing the play.
Half of the studies deal with casting - doubling, chorus and the
crowd, the star of Hamlet and Measure for Measure. Then the
transformations of dramatis personae are analyzed and The Tempest
is viewed through the changing relationships of Prospero, Ariel and
Caliban. Some of Shakespeare's most original strategies for
audience control are studied, such as Cordelia's asides in King
Lear, Richard II's subversive laughter and the scenic alternation
of pleasure and duty in Henry IV. Performance is the realization of
identity. The book draws on major productions up to 1992, just
before the book was originally published.
